Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping to give the latest and greatest a try.  I know the older
stuff will work fine.  Just need to know how the new stuff works.  Are
all the files included that are needed to boot in the 1.95 version I
downloaded?  Would appreciate it if you could tell me what all files are
required.  I'm assuming 1.95 is almost fully baked.? :)
