As the OP, may I say again that I am not a Ubuntu mole. But if someone advertises a boot disk, whether it is a test release or not, it should boot. I like Fedora (although the difference between Linux distributions is exaggerated to a ludicrous degree, IMHO - I'd love to test fanatics by getting them to say which is running on a particular laptop), but in my experience there is something wrong with Anaconda's basic approach to CD readers. Personally, I am willing to put up with problems installing a distribution if I really want to install it, and I have put up with enormous problems in the past to install Fedora - the worst being, as I mentioned, on Sony PictureBooks. I wish Fedora would undertake some modest investigation to see what problems people have with installation. I have suggested this, but been told that it would be a mammoth task, which I find difficult to believe. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
