[ale] Making a bootable CD

[H. A. Story]

 Been there done that.   If you browse the CD do you see the *.iso.  If 
you did you burned it wrong.  Depending on the software being used, You 
may have to tell it that you are burning from a iso image.  And 
correctly some M$ burning software does have a bootable toggle.  
Although I don't see how that makes a diff from my past readings of 
bootable CDs standards.
