I downloaded the 10 meg .iso file and have burned the .iso to cd.
It made 4 directories and left 2 files in the root directory. A word file and a html file. I am viewing all files and think there should be something else in the root directory to make it bootable.
Did I do something wrong? I used Nero
Thanks

Make sure you're burning it as an iso image. You can't simply copy the file to a CD project and burn it. I believe you have to select the "Make image" option or something to that effect in Nero. If you still aren't successful then try downloading the non-Joliet version of MFS Tools 2.0. I've had better luck using that version than the standard one for making a bootable CD.
If you still run into problems where the CD won't boot completely (i.e. the boot process terminates with some sort of error message), you will probably have to try using a different CD-ROM drive. I've found that some drives just won't boot with some Linux boot CDs. I had a drive that would boot fine with 2.5Xtreme and the TurboNet install CD but would absolutely choke on MFS Tools 2.0. I tried burning 3 or 4 different images with no luck. I finally switched to a different CD drive and never had a problem after that.
