Expand the package to a directory:

DOCS
airboot2.exe
setaboot.exe
MAKEDISK.COM
!readme!.1st
airboot2.msg

Copy and burn to a bootable CD and then run Airboot2.exe .

You can burn a simple bootable (maintenace ) CD with Hayo Baan's bootable.


If you really, really can't do it yourself, I'm always prepered to send 
a copy to au, and if it wasn't that long way from be to au, I even would 
send immediately one of my copies.
Has nobody in au used already Hayo Baan's bootable?

Keep us posted.
