Was using Slackware Linux 11 and needed to install XP, so just like normal, chucked the XP disc in and went to boot up from the CD as normal..except this time nothing happened. Got to the press any key to boot from CD and it just went black. Thought maybe it was my DVD drive, so i chucked in an Ubuntu live cd and it booted fine. I tried 2 discs with XP on them and both went black and just stalled. Any ideas what the problem could be?
I installed (Full installation) puppy linux on my ancient VAIO PC. When I try to boot from hard disc it prints “Press A to reboot” which is actually an infinite loop to this message again after rebooting. The only way to boot is to insert the live cd. After that, Everything loads from the hard drive like magic. I have a linux partition (ext3) as well as a linux-swap. I just need puppy to boot alone without the disc.
I am sure it is installed. it even says that the mounted hard drive can’t be umounted because Puppy is USING it.

I wanna have Linux on my Apple iMac G3 700, and I dont want to delete my Mac OS X. I searched for may Linux distributions but still I dont have a solution. I downloaded Linux 8.04 .iso file and I burned it to a CD using Disk Utility (I know .iso files are burned differently). Thn I restarted my computer while holding C key. Black screen with text appeared and it said something like: Welcome to Linux… the default settings are:live… press tab key for options… press enter key if you dont know what to do because it is gonna start Linux(not really)… if you can not start type video=ofonly…
First I pressed just enter (which is the same as not pressing nothing , because if you wait the startup continues) and white screen appeared and than my computer shut down (i think it shut down, but the light of the power button was still on). Later I started my computer while holding the C key and than I typed video=ofonly but white screen appeared and then it gone blach with message Loading… and than disappeared (there was black screen with _ ,i was probably supposed to write something but I dont know what).
So please help me I wanna start my Ubuntu Live CD without installing nothing but that is what I get. If you know how to start the Live CD on PPC tell me but keep it simple 
My iMac has 700Mhz G3 processor, 60 GB HD, 512MB RAM, Mac OSX 10.3.9… and it is supported by Ubuntu.
If you know other version of Linux that can be started without installing nothing or is easy to install,tell me. Thank you for reading
