Hello,

I was able to use a Fedora Core 6 DVD disk that I created and load
it into a Windows laptop that belongs to a friend and found that it
boots fine into Linux. The problem sees to be with my own laptop. I
already have Fedora Core 6 loaded on it. The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad
T-30. I have an NEC-CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive which I bought recently for this
laptop. However, whenever I put the disk into my drive to boot from it,
it only boots to the hard drive. Would this have anything to do with
Anaconda? I already have changed the bios settings that would allow the
laptop to boot from the cd-drive. Has anyone else had this problem and
if so, how do I correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem with my Athlon 1100 home-built machine. It just
refuses to boot to DVD, although it'll boot to CD just fine. I know that on
the KUBuntu DVD, there's a boot image you can put on a floppy and boot from
the floppy to then boot a DVD. I'm guessing that would work with Fedora as
well.

Hi, John,
Check your bios settings. Since you built your machine, you probably
have the MB manual, and it may provide you some additional information.
I have one machine that you have to select the drives and order for the
bios to boot from. It can boot from USB, DVD, CD, HDA (I think that was
the designation), and some others if you set them up in the bios first.
It just keeps getting more an more complicated. Firewire, USB,
Bluetooth, WIFI, Ethernet, IDE, SATA, SCSII, and other options may exist
on some machines depending on peripherals and bios capabilities.

Regards,
Les H
