 That appears to be it. I tried booting my Dell Latitude (celeron 500)
laptop, and it recognized the CD, and booted the kernel. However, I got
several out-of-memory errors, then a page fault and kernel panic long
before it got to a login prompt. I guess 128Mb isn't quite enough.
  Oh, well, my 9.1 pro upgrade should be delivered tomorrow, maybe I'll
have better luck with those disks...
