I am following the procedure, but the CD won't boot.
( the activity led flashes in short burst, and the PC is looking)
It seems to have all the files on it.
But then I made a CD with an iso file that I downloaded and it won't boot 
either. I used cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 downloaded.iso

Back to the custom CD, I did notice that when I use mkisofs it gives "warning 
building image that is not iso9660 compliant" or something to that affect.
My PC is useing ext3 fs, but I don't think that would hurt anything
Any ideas?

Also I was wondering why the pkg files go in the bundles directory and not 
the updates directory
