    I am looking for a copy of plpbtnoemul.iso.

    When I try and use the plpbt.iso I burned to CD, it boots to the PLOP Boot Menu, but when I select my USB Stick were my Linux Pendrive is located, it hangs and locks up my notebook. I am told that plpbtnoemul.iso nearly always works, but I can not find out where to download a real copy anywhere, including the PLOP site!

    Anybody have it and send me a copy?

    Did you try burning this iso from their site in Linux? i.e. your ubuntu distro?

    Thanks! But I got it!

    This page, https://forum.plop.at/index.php?topic=1015.0 told me that I needed to use the shift key to make it load an alternative USB driver. Once you hit the shift key while selecting USB, it works like a champ!

    I loaded both of my Getec M220's with Navigatrix 0.5 and both ran it just fine. I gave one to a friend that needed a PC and I am going to up the RAM in the last once to 2GB to see how well it runs!
