Can't install Linux

<< < (2/5) > >>

voidmain:
Did you read the installation document?  Which distro are you downloading the boot disk for?

Master of Reality:
There are good REABMEs on the CD. Look for the program 'rawwrite.exe' on the disk and it will have instructions on creating a linux boot disk.

I dont know how well WinXP installs, but i know that i have been trying for about a month to get win98 or winNT to install on a computer.

More Bullshit:

"Windows XP practically installs itself, and you can either run the setup program from Windows or you can boot from the CD"

Well, considering the fact that most CD-ROM medias are boot-compatible from most modern BIOS (thanks to Micro$hit and their influence over the neo-neaderthol market that is comprised of shitheads such as yourself) it shouldn't be too hard to boot a Linux distro, either from the burned ISO (if you did it correctly) of if you actually shelled out the $40 or so to buy the distro from a third party.  If you did the latter, at least you are paying good money from some people that deserve it, unlike the shitheads from the Seattle area that are dying quicker than their cruddy music scene.

XPissant...fuck off and die.

And just for a fun paraphrase (I love Kindergarten):

"SuSE practically runs intself.  Just throw in the CD into one of your drives, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete (like you have become acoustomed to), and it practically installs itself."

i,m trying to install Red Hat 7.3 . I'm starting to think i didn't burn the disc right. If i boot the computer into dos with the me start up disc and look at the cd it says 1 file o dir's the file name is valhal~1 exe. cannot open that cause it's to large to fit into memory. I using cd creator platinum . the instructions seem to say you first make a cd image then burn it from the image is that right or is it already an image?? the files i downloaded are named valhalla-i386-disc1.iso dics2.iso and disc3.iso.. After i make an image of them they are cd creator image files..If i look at the cd in windows it looks like a dos file and reads the same name as the file i downloaded valhalla-386-disc1.iso....maybe i should just go out and buy the cd pack at office max or something!! thanks zubknarf

choasforages:
yeah hes right, most computers are cdrom-boot compatible, if you burn the cd as a cd image and not burn the iso a file on the disk i used to do that all the time, if i doesn't boot then something is wrong with your hardware/bois config
