That's true in DI 2002, but in DI7, which runs within Windows, the CD is not
automatically made bootable.  I know because I finally had the chance to try
it with my notebook--which doesn't have a floppy drive, so I can't use DI
2002 with it. In DI7 you have to use the product CD to boot into the PQRE;
you can then change CD's and put in your image file, but it would be much
easier if it could all be on one DVD.   If anyone knows how to do this,
please let me know.
