[plug] boot from stick

[orm]

The image downloaded is 688 MB and the empty CD-R i had, claimed to have 
700 MB capacity but, i got a message about not enough space....tried 2 
new? disks and, after the 1st failed due to an "error", the 2nd 
succeeded! Now, how do i get it to boot? What have i failed to do?
