Jim,
There might be an issue with the size of the image. Its a bit larger then
a standard CD-r. I'm trying to get one that is slightly under the limit of
a CD-r uploaded.
We've done installs with this image no problem, but cdrecord crapped out
on me with errors due to the size, so it may be an issue.
