  El Torito also works with Joliet, and Joliet works for most operating
systems.  ISO9660 means you can't put the CD in a NT server CD-Rom and do
FTP installs off a local machine.  Not that a Lot of people will, but I
can't tell you how many times I have told people how to do just that <or
War-FTP in e Win95 box> because they didn't have a CD-rom, or a supported
CD-Rom, or both CD-Rom and floppy in the same laptop which was not little
bull friendly.  With iso9660 we give up some things to get nothing.  Please
correct me if I am wrong...
