Re: Can't read Linux CDs.

This is very odd. If I load a live CD of whatever sort,
Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc., it won't mount. Needless
to say, they don't boot. If I insert a Netgear installation CD, it mounts
and can be read. Same for the Scrabble game CD, and same for the bootable
IBM Windoze recovery disc, which does boot. So, any CD having to do with
Windoze works; any CD having to do with Linux doesn't.

Any hints, pointers, guesses, greatly appreciated. Thanks.
did you *burn* your CDs yourself?
did you check those on another PC?
Are you sure you make an ISO burn and not a simple copy of files?

regards,
Guillermo.
