question about linux

[nevermind1534]

Did you use a program, such as nero burning rom, to coy the files from the .ISO file to the CD? If you did, it should work.

hello thanks nevermind1534 no ididnt i just made a normal cd but i will try that +rep also +rep that are tring to guide a new one to linux thanks again guys

[nevermind1534]

What program were you using, and where did you get the iso file from? I tried it yesterday in VMWare, and it worked fine.

download something like isoburn (Free for XP/Vista), install it and just double click on the ISO for DSL, it will ask what drive to burn to and what speed, click go,

It does the rest for you.

isoburn is pretty awesome.

As a side note, perhaps you might like to try an older distro of Ubuntu or something. it's better for non-expert users...

[XcOM]

i would say earlier ubuntus are better for older hardware as they require less oomph to run, but have a harder learning curve, newer ubuntus generaly have become more automated, a bit more like windows so to speak.

or see if you can dig up an old LindowsOS distro
