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.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. Ialready 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 withAnaconda? I already have changed the bios settings that would allow thelaptop 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.JohnBIOS setup. JimHello Jim,I already did check my bios. I notice that there is only a listing there for a CD drive and not a DVD drive. I recently bought my drive. Does this have anything to do with it, even though I adjusted the cd drive to boot first?
