List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 01:28:34 -0000 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."
