Trying yo install fedora core 9.?

Posted on April 2, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a copy of fedora core 9 (copied from linux website). When I copy the op to a DVD rw cd it seems like everything works out alright. (All the files seem to transfer). What my main problem is that when I restart my computer, go to the boot menu (F12), and go to the DVD ROM option it says that no DVD ROM was found. I think that this is the right option because this is where I go to when I run a live cd version of linux.

Is the problem that I format the DVD with windows, that the dvd is RW, or am I just messing up along the way?

The best solution that ACTUALLY SOLVES MY PROBLEM will get the best answer rating.

Which version of Linux is best?

Posted on January 20, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

It has to be run from a live CD or flash drive, unless you can tell me how to get an OS boot menu without messing up windows xp. I currently have Knoppix.
Today is the first time i have ever used Linux, I have herd alot of good and bad things, so i decided to try it for my self. So far i am amazed at its speed and stabality.
now im using UBUNTU, its great, takes a fue menits to get wsed to the color of it but then its great and easy on the eys.

Ubuntu installer, pressing enter does nothing?

Posted on July 29, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a Ubuntu live cd and I have installed it successfully on 2 computers, yet it won’t install on this one. When I get to the cd boot menu I have “try without installing”, “install” etc. Clicking enter on any option causes the cd to whirr for a second and the harddrive to light up momentarily. Then…nothing. I can move up and down the menu again and enter still does nothing. I have puppy linux running on this (from a cd) fine. Any tips?
Thanks David, I would do that except this laptop refuses to boot from usb ;/ Many attempts have failed.
