Interesting. What I know for sure based on sighted assistance is that if I attempt to boot disk 1, the text "boot from CD" flashes for a few seconds, and then the system falls back to booting Windows. My first thought was that my boot sequence was messed up, but the boot.iso works just fine. Weird. If I have the same problem with disk 1 of the regular set, maybe I'll try booting it from the other rom on this machine to see if it makes a difference. --Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 10:10 PM Subject: Re: instalation problem-- was Re: fc3 download > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I seem to recall that there were posts some time back on the list > indicating that disc1 of fc3 didn't boot on some machines, and did > boot on others.
