Well that changes everything, doesn't it? I even thought about asking about this, but figured it would be condescending to ask, I didn't think you would have made the above statement about the CD booting and not bother to mention a version difference if there was one. Back to my original advice. Or download the CD version of 4.0.2 and try it. It's always handy to have a CD version available, since you may need it for a system recovery on a system that has no DVD. I use the DVD on my notebook, but carry the CD in my set of emergency discs. No need to make a CD every single release, but there is enough new in 4.0.2 to merit doing it. (Your present experience indicates it might be wise to carry both versions.)
