I have found that the cd's I have burned for 0.6.1 seem to take almost two minutes to boot up in the cdrom drive. I don't think this happened before. After I burned the cd, I was still in windows, and when I opened the drive where the new Damnsmall cd was, it autoran, so I knew I had something. I could, of course, explore the contents of the cd in Windows. Then when I tried to run it by itself, I ran into the strange almost two minute wait for things to perk up. I almost thought I had a bad cd, or cd drive, so I switched machines, and the same thing happened, although not as much time to wait.

So, the autorun has it's uses, as a confirm that the cd is "good", I suppose.

Too many new users are going to need that instruction, to set the bios to boot off the cd drive.

We ought to keep it. Those of us using DSL on a daily basis don't see it anyway.
