Hello,
I was able to use a Fedora Core 6 DVD disk that I created and load
it into a Windows laptop that belongs to a friend and found that it
boots fine into Linux. The problem sees to be with my own laptop. I
already have Fedora Core 6 loaded on it. The laptop is an IBM
ThinkPad
T-30. I have an NEC-CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive which I bought recently for
this
laptop. However, whenever I put the disk into my drive to boot
from it,
it only boots to the hard drive. Would this have anything to do with
Anaconda? I already have changed the bios settings that would allow
the
laptop to boot from the cd-drive. Has anyone else had this problem and
if so, how do I correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a similar problem with my Athlon 1100 home-built machine. It
just refuses to boot to DVD, although it'll boot to CD just fine. I
know that on the KUBuntu DVD, there's a boot image you can put on a
floppy and boot from the floppy to then boot a DVD. I'm guessing
that would work with Fedora as well.

If you got a good bootable disk and it won't off DVD that has to do
with your computers BIOS, check
BIOS setup.

Hello Jim,
I already did check my bios. I notice that there is only a
listing there for a CD drive and not a DVD drive. I recently bought
my drive. Does this have anything to do with it, even though I
adjusted the cd drive to boot first?
Check the front panel of your cdrom, does it say dvd reader, or dvd
writer or DVD R/W , most drive have this stamped into the plastic of
front cover.
