I know this is a Fedora-oriented community mailing list, but seeing as how I
don't have "access" to another distro's "support network" I figured I would ask
here and hope for the best. Here's the scenario:

I recently downloaded and burned to DVD the .iso file for a certain Linux
distro, and everything checked out fine in regards to the download / burn-copy
process. But when I insert the CD into another laptop to install this distro
onto that laptops's hard drive I get to the main installation menu, which offers
me the option to install using the Command Line or the GUI. I chose the GUI
(since I suck at the comand line...for NOW!) and the first selection after I
chose the GUI is to choose my language, then to set the keyboard, but
immediately after those it asks me to select the type of CD drive (SCSI or
"Other") I have gone through the ENTIRE list of offerings in those lists but it
doesn't recognize ANY of them.....can someone please tell me what the proper
procedure is to get me past this point?....the laptop in question is a Lenovo
T-420 with 4 GB of memory..a 320 HDD...and an internal / modular CD-ROM drive....

This is silly, without the distro name we would be guessing. And if their support list is exclusionary to that extent, is this really a direction you want to go?
