I have a DVD with F 33 Live, in the drawer of an oldish machine.
I can't get it to boot from the DVD.
It was originally a System 76, which came with Ubuntu. I had to
get help to switch it to Fedora, but it's been OK till now. (I've been
doing system upgrades with dnf; but that doesn't work any more.
The first display on boot says American Megatrends, copyright
2015.
This is the machine, discussed here in a thread beginning October
30, about a transaction test error. The conclusion was that I had
allocated space badly in F 32, and might as well install F 33 from
scratch. That's what I'm trying to do.
I've been running Fedora since it came out; if I can get this
thing to boot from the live DVD, I ought to be able to install it to the
hard drive. But the boot options are innumerable -- most of them
apparently not connected with the BIOS, if there still is one.
Is there hope? What info do I need to post??
my suggestion is enter bios on boot and look for a boot order, see if dvd is before HD.
make it boot first dvd, second hard disk. save, exit and try boot from dvd again..
good luck, ...
