What is weird...i cannot even boot from the test 1 cd....I also teri3ed another way as through another member...burn boot.iso from the isoimages directory. This works but it boots into text mode and asks for a CD driver [which I do not have and have not ever needed in the past]- the floppy boot sidk I have tried does the same as well [text mode] but cannot find my CD drive. I know the cd drive is attached as I just looked in the computer to see if the cable WAS the problem... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jonathan Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 11:10 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: No-Boot on CD ..

No, as a user of FC2 test 2, I can assure you that disk one is messed up and not bootable, at least for many if not most people. What seems to work for most people is booting with the first disk of test 1 and when it gives you the choice to hit enter to upgrade or install, swap the disk with test 2 disk 1 before hitting enter.
