Not working... yet
Thanks for your response.
I have set the BIOS to boot from CD. I have a 8gig hard drive with a primary dos partition, 224MB ram, on a P3-533.
When I boot the computer searches for the OS but doesn't see it on the CD with the ISO image
I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 and burned it with nero 6 to create the disk. I did not, however, ask it to be a bootable disk. I thought it would make it a XP bootable. Should I recreate the ISO image and make it bootable?
I am a rank beginner with Linux. I've read in some of the forums that v6.10 may not be the best version to start with as it is so new.
This computer is just to familiarize my self Linux so I am not "married" to any particular flavor of Linux - except, of course, the free kind, nor is it one I need to be completely functional immediately.
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated and hopefully useful to others.
Thanks again, monton
