       ---------------------------------------------------------
       STEP 1 - Prepare something bootable
       To begin, you need some kind of bootable medium, preferably a
       floppy disk
       If you have a floppy disk drive:
       Create a bootable floppy, for instance by using
       Start->Programs->Snapshot->Create Recover Floppy
       Use A: as bootable bootable medium below
       If you have no disk drive - Method A:
       Method 1: create a small partition, then restore
       networkbootdiskette.sna (installed during setup) to this
       partition.
       You can customize  this partition at will (change autoexec.bat
       etc.).
       Use this partition as bootable medium below.
       If you have no disk drive - Method B:
       Create a bootable (uncompressed) image of a floppy.
       Using the windows commandline, expand networkbootdiskette.sna
       with the (undocumented) command
       c:\programs\snapshot> snapshot networkbootdiskette.sna
       bootdisk.img -X
       Use bootdisk.img as bootable medium below.
       STEP 2 - Burn disk, using NERO
       start Nero
       (create a new project)
       [Close Wizard] if necessary, we need the tabbed view
       in the top left, select CD or DVD
       in the lower left, scroll down to CD-ROM [boot] or DVD-ROM
       [boot]
       click the [boot] tab
       select (*) bootable logical drive or (*) image file, depending
       on the boot medium from above
       enable expert settings
       make sure ' kind of emulation' is set to Floppy Emulation 1,44
       MB
       click [NEW]
       add image files  to the CD/DVD; they will be visible on drive W:
       when booted from CD
       burn
       done
       STEP 3 - reboot and test if CD boots
