* Can't boot fedora @ Chris Norman ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 13+ messages in thread From: Chris Norman @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hi guys, I recently brought the four-cd set of the speakup modified distribution from Cheapbytes (not sure of the spelling, it was a link I found on the linux-speakup.org site), and burned my own boot CD (from the boot.iso image). But after the boot cd has finished (without a problem), I put the cd labeled "Install 1" into my drive and press ok, and it says "no fedora cd was found that matches your boot media". Does this mean I have to create images of the CDs from cheap bytes and burn them onto disks, like the one I booted from??? Cheers, ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

OK, Steve. This does make sense. But, do we know for a fact that the first ISO doesn't boot for Chris? That is the starting point. Thereafter, we have to ascertain that he created the coorect boot media, created it correctly, and got a correct burn/copy, and applied it correctly. Picky, I know. But that's debugging. Still no guarantee, unfortunately. Steve Dawes writes: > Janina, > > I am not sure if these are the sections that are being referred to, but it > could be a little confusing to a first time reader.

Hi mate, when I put the first disk in and boot the PC (I've done warm and otherwise), nothing happens. The how-to I'm using is V5.0, 1 January 2005. Has it been updated since then? It's FC3 I'm installing. The line about the first CD not booting says: you can just create a CD ROM of the i386-disc1.iso image because this first CD ROM image also creates a bootable CD ROM--though it currently doesn't boot for all users.

Make sure that your BIOS, if it is supported, is set up so that the CD is the first boot mech in the boot sequence and drop the 1st CD in and bounce the PC. You most certainly don't need the boot/root floppies to start the installation process nor, hmmmmmm, from memory I don't think the floppies are recommended nowadays. Perhaps Janina can clarify that point as I don't myself have time to dive into the FAQ's to check, etc. HTH. Cheers.

* Re: Can't boot fedora ` Adrian Beech @ ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 0 replies; 13+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: jaffajock, Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

But it definitely is no longer supported.
