I have been told that due to Microsoft's fear of having their software 
pirated, the CD burner software included with XP won't burn a bootable image. 
 I would need a program like Nero to make a bootable CD-ROM disk.  I was 
hoping someone could help me fix up a version of BasicLinux that could be run 
inside Qemu, which would not need the PC to be rebooted.  DamnSmall Linux has 
a setup like this on a USB data stick or thumb drive, but I'm not wild about 
DamnSmall's selection of software, etc.  Any minimal implementation of Linux 
should work well with Qemu.  I also have a full implementation of Knoppix 
that runs inside Qemu, but its SOOOO slow, too big for this sort of thing.
