Hi, enable booting from CD in your bios setup (you probably have to hit del or F1 to get into bios setup). Insert the CD, save and exit. If you have two networked Linux PCs here is a work around to installing Linux without burning CDs. Download the iso image from www.linuxiso.org or wherever. mount it as: mount -t iso9660 -o loop <iso image> <mount point> now get into the directory and make boot floppies (network boot via ftp). Make sure some ftp server (proftpd is good) is running. Boot your to-be-linux-box using the boot floppies and log into the machine with the CD image by ftp. The installation should be normal from this point. If you don't have a CD writer but do have a Linux PC this might be a good way to install Linux on another machine.
