[19:13] <qwebirc99070> I have an older pc AMD based tat will only boot from CD,  is there a program that can span the ios file to two disks ??
[19:15] <qwebirc99070> Could you make available a CD ver of the ios ??
[19:15] <tgm4883> not that I know of
[19:16] <tgm4883> Can't do that either, I'm not sure it would even be possible
[19:16] <tgm4883> Can you burn it to a dvd?
[19:16] <qwebirc99070> yes but the machine won't boot from it
[19:17] <tgm4883> weird
[19:17] <tgm4883> how old is this machine?
[19:17] <qwebirc99070> abit AMD 3400
[19:18] <Kwisher_wrk> qwebirc99070: check out plop bootloader, it will allow older pc's to boot from usb
[19:19] <qwebirc99070> It will boot from usb but only floppy, zip,  and a couply others
[19:20] <qwebirc99070> I haven't tryed usb HD yet but I don't think it's supported
[19:21] <Kwisher_wrk> qwebirc99070: plop will make it possible to boot from a usb
[19:21] <Kwisher_wrk> if the pc will boot from a usb natively, what's the problem?
[19:21] <qwebirc99070> I have the ios on a thumb drive, so I will give it a try
[19:22] <Kwisher_wrk> you have to create a bootable usb, not just copy the iso to it
[19:23] <qwebirc99070> it's looking for a floppy drive not the thumb drive
[19:23] <qwebirc99070> the thumb drive is bootable
[19:23] <Kwisher_wrk> you usually have to set the boot options in the bios or press a key to bring up a boot menu
[19:24] <qwebirc99070> I used the pendrive app to make a bootable thumb drive
[19:24] <qwebirc99070> done that
[19:24] <Kwisher_wrk> if all else fails, download the plop iso and burn it to cd and boot form it
[19:25] <qwebirc99070> I'll try it,
[19:25] <qwebirc99070> thanks
