	If you wanted to boot from the CD-ROM, then you would have
	to create at least the first partition as a ProDOS partition,
	then you could place ISO 9660 partitions after the ProDOS
	partition, giving you a very decent media.  Something of
	this sort would be useful for any type of GS software that
	dealt with large data bases or permanent archives.  I don't
	consider that foolish.
