[aplusdev] A+ CD on a DVD

[John.Mizel at morganstanley.com]

Hi Martin,

My comments about windows are if your are accessing the CD from windows
to read the documentation or view the CD's contents.

Booting from the CD doesn't have any windows requirements, you just have
to make sure the CD-ROM drive precedes the disk drive in the list of boot
devices.

Sorry for the confusion.
