Notes

Remarks

  • There is CUE data at the end of the ISO file, presumably due to a botched ripping job. To fix the problem, remove the CUE data at the end of the file. (7-Zip will tell you about this when you open the ISO with it.)

Bootleg quirks

  • A new boot screen is applied during setup.
  • The Winamp playlist has an entry that leads to a nonexistent path.
  • The setup's "Press any key to boot from CD" text has been altered slightly.

  • The CD has its own icon.
