Down arrowing will select drives by drive letter, and press enter. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Homiak" To: "speakup" Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 8:27 PM Subject: (way OT) thinkpad and cdrom booting I have a T23 thinkpad and some of you helped me when I was first setting linux up on it. I had thought that if a bootable cdrom was placed in the cdrom drive, the boot would default to that, as with the floppy. However, I just tried this with the first cd of the fedora cdrom set (speakup; yarrow) and I got taken directly to lilo instead. can somebody kindly refresh me on this? Do I have to do something in the bios or is it possible that I've made some kind of mistake in my burning, though I can't think what that would be? Thanks. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
