You can launch A/UX from the Start A/UX application that appears when you mount the CD on the desktop. Since it's read-only, there are limits to what you can do, but you can run it. > What's the access speed of the CD ROM drive you're > using? I don't know the access speed of my Toshiba drive. A/UX execution was noticeably slow, but not nearly as bad as I expected, running on the drive only. By the way, the install process from my Toshiba drive takes about half the time Apple quotes in the manual for installation from their drive. The first confirmation I've gotten that this drive really is faster.
