It occurred to me, that anyboot burned to compact disc may not run as
well as the real ISO cd's....  Around the time of R1A1, the ISO's were
changed such that certain optional packages would be kept as zips,
which would be extracted upon installation. Since the anyboot uses a
raw image for Haiku, those packages won't be archives -- thus loosing
the speed benefit of the streamlined ISO image.
