My bios calls for CDROM to be > read first. It acts as if that is being overridden? You want to boot from CD-ROM to start the installation, right? Fedora cannot override you BIOS boot sequence. If your BIOS skips the CD-ROM there are several possibilities: 1. Your CD-ROM is listed *after* the HDD in BIOS 2. Your CD-ROM is not recognized by the BIOS or is deactivated 3. Your CD has errors and is not recognized as a boot medium 4. Your CD drive is malfunctioning. 5. ............... You said you can't mount your cdrom. That might be a hint to a damaged CD or CD drive (3. or 4.) -- Bye, Adalbert I don't kill flies, but I like to mess with their minds. I hold them above globes.
