Distro help. Please?
Orethrius:
Getting back to the prior point of this thread:
Dark_Me, have you been burning from an image to the CD-R drive, or simply mounting the ISO (with D-Tools, or Alcohol, or some other similar program) and burning the files directly across as a data disc? The latter fails to include a number of alterations the CD needs to be considered "bootable."
Dark_Me:
I havn't been getting CD images. Both Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux are just a bunch of files. After that is I unpack them from their WinRAR arcive. Mabey this is my problem? Are you just suppost to burn the archive?

Their is a difference between Red Communism and Purist Communism.
The reason communism never worked is because 1) Ether it was only a sham to set up a dictatorship. 2) or they didn't implement it coreclty.
Now the thing about communism is that ALL and I mean all "communist" countrys are not true to the ideals of communism. The first givaway is that they have a government. Open source hardware

That sounds like the problem. The cd is being formatted as whatever format windows uses. To make a disc bootable, and not just a coaster, you have to use a .iso image. Anything else won't work. Then, you must burn the image to cd. Mounting it and copying the files won't work, neither will just putting the .iso file onto the cd, I think NERO has an option to make discs from an image, but I use a mac so I'm not sure.
Dark_Me:
Yeah it does, the problem is that their not images.
Oops looks like they are. At least Damn Small Linux is. Now to see if it works.
