You may want to share what type of laptop you have. If someone has the same laptop they may have some specific tips to share. Are you trying to load FC2 or a different version? Also provide very specific error messages and the procedure you are trying to use. The two most likely problems when loading linux on a new systems: 1. make sure the iso images were burned as images to the CD. If you just have one big .iso file on the CD it was not burned correctly. Check the burning software you are using, it should have a burn image type option somewhere. 2. Check the bios on your laptop or server and make sure it has the CD selected as a boot option. Many times systems will either not have the CD marked as a boot option or will have the harddrive listed before the CD so all you end up doing is booting to the harddrive. -- Scot L.
