The problem sees to be with my own laptop. I already have Fedora Core 6 loaded on it. The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad T-30. I have an NEC-CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive which I bought recently for this laptop. However, whenever I put the disk into my drive to boot from it, it only boots to the hard drive. Would this have anything to do with Anaconda? I already have changed the bios settings that would allow the laptop to boot from the cd-drive. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how do I correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">I have a similar problem with my Athlon 1100 home-built machine. It just refuses to boot to DVD, although it'll boot to CD just fine. I know that on the KUBuntu DVD, there's a boot image you can put on a floppy and boot from the floppy to then boot a DVD. I'm guessing that would work with Fedora as well.
