Re: Booting from a fedora core live cd

The fact that you've been dropped to the grub shell, indicates that you did

maybe there is a configuration problem with your system.

Ok, I didn't do anything. The prompt appears as soon as the CD boots.

Did you burn the CD yourself? If so, did you do a checksum on the
downloaded ISO before writing it to the CD, and did you checksum the CD
after the write was complete?

$ md5sum FC-6-i386-livecd-1.iso

$ md5sum /dev/cdrom

More info would help. Which Fedora Live CD? Specs on your system? What
OS is on it?

My laptop is a Toshiba Notebook model 3100S
(Pentium III 550Mhz with 128Mb RAM)

I think the onboard display adapter is some sort of ATI card, (from memory I
think it might be a Radeon 8500).

Hard Drive is 20Gb. Existing system is Debian Sarge.

Regards,

Mark.
