Tale of two machines I downloaded the Fedora core 2 iso's and created the install cd's and the boot cd. Machine 1 is a Gateway P3. put boot cd in and rebooted the cd, install program fired up and prompted me to start the install. Problem is I don't want linux on this box. Machine 2 is a Dell P200 GX Pro and cannot be booted from cd. got a copy of loadlin, booted from dell support floppy, installed cdrom access, ran loadlin with the proper switched and the boot cd started running. Then got the following error. Uncompressing Linux... invalid compressed format (err=1) --System halted I was able to run the linux media check on the boot cd and it went fine. Any ideas?
