The CDRom Switch Did it!

The CDRom Switch Did it!

[nick G]

Hello to all you Fedora folks.  Recently, I recieved a pare of very reputable CD Drives.  The first, a Toshiba-Samsung SW-252-S burner, and yes Toshiba and Samsung did help with this drive.  The second is a Sony 52X reader.  The Samsung replaced a cheep, don't mind my profanity, piece of shit from Norcent that I've been using for about a year.  The Sony replaced what I thought was a rather nice Shuddle CD Drive.  THe swaps did the trick.  I think it was more the reader than the writer, but it could have been a combonation of both.  I will be installing Fedora 3 tomorrow, and I thank you all for your help.
Sincerely yours,
Nick

Congrats, Nick, on getting this figured out.

Just a brief word of caution. Some of us are still unable to boot from
the first Speakup Modified disc. Disks made from the boot.iso do work,
however. So, just an FYI.

Also, if you find you do need to make a boot.iso disk, remember to take
it from the set of installation cd roms you already have. It can be
found in the images/ directory on the first installation disc.

It is important not to mix versions.
