Comments:
 - we are not discriminating people
 - your suggestion is worth enough to be implemented
 - I am looking for a way to detect the Boot-CD in the drive (Jörg
   Schilling's postings are somewhere in my archives). Should be easy to
   implement: if(i386) and (boot-cd in any drive) -> WARNING.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
