No I didn't. I think this use of isolinux is fantastic. I've been having
a gander (unlike some other posters to this thread I suspect) and there
is nothing really new here - it really is using just a slightly
different syslinux binary and combining the syslinux.cfg's together with
access to all the discs in one. I can't see the big deal.
What I would provide/recommend is including a "smartboot" windows and
linux binaries - this can write a very simple boot floppy that will boot
cdroms on most machines with older non el-torito BIOS's.
Thumbs up for Isolinux CD #1.
