I put disk one in the CD and changed the boot order putting the CD Rom first. The following error message is displayed after the CD appears to be checked. Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selectefd boot device. The CD passed the checksum so I am assuming that it is OK but don't have a clue where to go now. I know something is wrong but what. Help would be more than appreciated. ThanksWelcome aboard! Most likely you need to configure your bios to boot from the CDrom drive. The next most likely problem is that when you burned the CDs you did not burn them as images. In you CD burner software there should be an option to burn the CD as an iso or image, then select the iso file you downloaded. This will burn a bootable CD. If you just burned the iso as data to the CD that will not work. My money is on the bios settings.______________________________________________________________________ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
