There are systems which boot disk one, and others which cannot boot from disk one. The solution is to create a disk expressly for the purpose of booting. To create this boot disk, use the iso image under images/boot.iso on the first disk. Second point: John, please run an md5sum check on the images at jamsite. md5sum -c MD5SUM Gregory Nowak writes: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I seem to recall that there were posts some time back on the list > indicating that disc1 of fc3 didn't boot on some machines, and did > boot on others.
