The system will "boot" from the CD-Drive but when the kernel takes over it doesn't have the driver for this CD-Drive. I have used knoppix, etch liveCD and network install cds.

I'm not sure how to tell what driver ubuntu is using for the cd-drive. I guess Dell adds these drivers to the Ubuntu dist. because they aren't on the CD that they sent. I sure hope they are on the restore partion .
I have just received a Dell Inspiron 530N pre-installed with Ubuntu. I
am now trying to figure out how to install debian on it. When I try to
boot my Debian LiveCD (20070716-07:09) I am getting an error message
similar to :
*"can't access tty; job control turned off"
*does anyone have a clue what this means?
It means you can't hit ctrl+z to put a job in the background.
It's a very minor error message.
Another person suggested that if you want to install Debian you can
use a Debian install CD. That sounds like a good idea to me too.
Good luck!
Tom
I guess I am just stuck on the bleeding edge of technology. (ubuntu is looking better and better)
Thanks for everyones help and comments!!!!!!!!!
