005. I am trying to install Linux via CD-ROM. I have made space for Linux on my hard drive but inserting the Linux CD into the CD-ROM drive and rebooting has no effect.

You might have to tell your BIOS (Basic I/O System) to enable booting from CD-ROM by changing the default BIOS settings. On most systems you may access the BIOS settings by pressing the <del> key on your keyboard shortly after rebooting. If implemented by the BIOS as a separate feature you may also have to change the BIOS's boot sequence.

• prev: 004. I have upgraded to kernel 2.0.35 or later but still can't see my FAT32 partition. What went wrong?
• Index
• next: 006. I have completed the installation process but upon reboot I get a LI prompt or a bunch of zeros and ones.

Share and Enjoy
