[GRLUG] newbie help

[Cameron]

Jesse,

I believe I have set the boot drives to boot from the CD Rom.  I have listed
CD Rom as the first boot source.  Also, I have been using the "burn iso
image" icon in my burn program (third recommended burn program that I have
downloaded).  I made every attempt to review the threads at the Ubuntu Forum
before tracking down a local group.  Thanks for your reply.

 

Regards,

Is it possible that a real newbie fix is in order here?  Just checking, are
your boot drives in the new linux machine set to boot from CD ROM before
your Hard Disk?

What are you using to burn the ISO images?  Are you using the
software's "Burn image" feature, or are you adding the ISO to the file
list?
