That's interesting because it says the CD is bootable. But I think I need to try the suggestions of Marc and Jonathan. I did choose "data CD" and I don't remember if I chose "iso." I've got to get to a meeting. I'll try to re-burn later tonight, or tomorrow. > and do (as root): > > mount -o loop sarge-i386-netinst.iso /mnt > ls /mnt I found this to be a fascinating command. It shows a lot of files and directories that do not show up if I mount the CD itself in the regular manner. And those files suggest ways to boot by way of a floppy should the CD not boot. I don't know what this command does exactly, but it's nice. So here's a question. When one is done with this command, does one issue some sort of umount command? Thanks Pete, and Mark and Jonathan.
