Make sure the live cd will work on your system! I have a K6-III that
the live CD will not boot it. Someone else reported a problem with a
K6-II. May be the chipsets and not the processors but check it out
before you kill RH9. However what I did was install Vector Linux and
then build LFS. Vector Linux is small and works great for building LFS.

Well, I guess it's ok if I ask then. I feel pretty stupid, I've never
downloaded a live cd iso before.
I had the opportunity to stop by my son's and borrow his broadband and
got an iso today.
Wow! 760 kps , that is really something!
Anyhow.... so I download the lfslivecd-x86-6.1.1-3.iso and burned it
to a cd, so it's on the cd by itself, alone , that's it.
I thought that would be all you need to do because I still can't see
anything additional about burning a bootable live cd here. Like I said,
I've never done this before.
When I got back and tried it out , the boot just skips over it and goes
to my regular hd grub loader.
I was thinking that I had not made the cd correctly, but there can also
be a problem with the k6-2?
This cdrom has had other strange problems reading before like the
capability to read an open cd using that special reader (UDF?). I
thought it was cdrom specific, never occurred that it may be the cpu.
So anyhow, did I burn the cd correctly?
Thanks, Howard
