Progress!!!

When I removed the TRANS.TBL files and produced and ISO with the
results of my "cp -a" and then burned it, the CD boots!

Now, I know in my original tree there are no TRANS.TBL files so that
was not my original problem.  But at least now I know I can produce a
bootable CD, so now I can build up on this progress one step at a time
to discover just where it fails.

Thanks a million everyone!   I hope to be able to take it from here.
I'm going to keep monitoring this list - will try to answer any
questions I can.

cheers,
-Alan
