I had this problem with a friends laptop that I'm 99% sure was a Toshiba -- just wouldn't boot from the CD for some reason. What I ended up doing was loading the linux installer from DOS. I used debian but according to http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/install-guide/s1-sta rt-install.html you just create a DOS boot disk that can see your CD drive, and then put your Redhat disk in and (cddrive):\dosutils\autoboot.bat This will then start just as if you booted from the cd. -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wienand.org ********************************************************************** CAUTION: This message may contain confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
