So where did you put the CC3disk module in your bootlist?

I have been working for the past two weeks trying to get a working boot
disk.  I got one about a month ago, but every thing that I do doesn't seem
to work.  I almost got one two days ago, but I foolishly cobbled it to
patch the /term module and now I can't get ANY boots to load properly.  I
really want to get WIZPRO to work.  I did get it loaded and working for a
short time last night, but I tried to select the gcal module and it
crashed.
