I like that reply, WolfBite - concise and, apparently easy. This box 
(Acer Aspire) gives me the following options for boot:
1] IDE CDROM
2] IDE HDD
3] PCI LAN NVIDIA BOOT AGENT
4] USB HDD
5] USB CDROM
6] USB FDC
7] USB key
Which is the winning ticket?

Finally got a CD to burn but, can not get it to boot. Will still do a 
USB stick but, Ishwor has a caveat actor for me on that.
