Hello,
I was able to use a Fedora Core 6 DVD disk that I created and load
it into a Windows laptop that belongs to a friend and found that it
boots fine into Linux. The problem sees to be with my own laptop. I
already have Fedora Core 6 loaded on it. The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad
T-30. I have an NEC-CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive which I bought recently for this
laptop. However, whenever I put the disk into my drive to boot from it,
it only boots to the hard drive. Would this have anything to do with
Anaconda? I already have changed the bios settings that would allow the
laptop to boot from the cd-drive. Has anyone else had this problem and
if so, how do I correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a similar problem with my Athlon 1100 home-built machine. It just
refuses to boot to DVD, although it'll boot to CD just fine. I know that on
the KUBuntu DVD, there's a boot image you can put on a floppy and boot from
the floppy to then boot a DVD. I'm guessing that would work with Fedora as
well.

If you got a good bootable disk and it won't off DVD that has to do with
your computers BIOS, check
BIOS setup.
