I have a burning problem. Have burnt the ISO image using both WINonCD and
Nero. Tried just burning it, tried burning an ISO CD and tried a bootable
ISO CD. It burns fine, but won’t boot up my system. I think I eed a install
floppy image. Any ideas PLEASE.
Thanks

Probably has more to do with the hardware you are trying to boot on then the
image you burned.
Tested the ISO image on a couple of computers and depending on the hardware
<for example the distribution does not like 2940 controllers at this time>
the boot goes fine.
If you can, I would suggest going as vanilla as possible and then adding
parts.
Just a MB with IDE [drive, CDROM] and a video card attached to start.
I haven’t had it fail using this combination to start yet. After you get a
system that will boot, then start thinking about adding hardware.
I have been lucky with sound cards, but nothing but real Sound Blaster types
tested so far.

You must use Disk At Once mode when burning an .iso image.
Some older writers can’t do Disk At Once.

You don’t really “have to” turn disk at once on, but it’s advised
since it’s the only way we have really tested it.
I have tested multi session & close disk aswell, but have not seen
any problems with either.
