Oralux requires that your cd-rom be set as a boot device in the bios of your PC. It should never boot into windows. The cd-rom should be before the hard disk in the boot sequence in your bios. This means that when the oralux cd is in the cd-rom it will boot. If not windows will boot.

I would use the Modified Fedora only my Apollo synthesiser is at home I think and not at my flat and I can't find the connector for attaching it to the COM2 port or whatever it would be refered to under Linux. I was going to bring my hardware synthesiser out of where I had it to use with the Modified Redhat at the time before I had the problem findind the end for the cable. I tried running Orolux on my Desktop but it kept booting into windows and this may be because I have a problem starting windows because it beeps and tries to look for my phone even though I uninstalled the PC suite because I was having problems with it although whether this caused my problem with Orolux I don't know. I put the disk in when I started my PC and it still booted into windows even when I pressed enter to get past my problem. Hope someone can answer my question. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
