Other Help Topics :: Help, booting problems

Hi,
I have made a live cd (it works on other machines) but my pc (pentium 133 Win98) refuses to recognize it as a bootable cd.
It does recognize a win98 cd as such.

what could be wrong?

P.S. I'm a total newbie at this

Try one of the boot floppies. Look in the current/ directory of any of the mirrors.

Or you can use Smart Boot Manager. It works just as good and a lot faster.

Try downloading and burning the syslinux version of DSL. It is made for older machines that refuse to boot from the "standard" dsl.iso which happens to be isolinux.

Thanks,
I'll go for the syslinux option since my floppy drive has died on me some time ago and I still haven't got round to reving it.

I'll let you know how it turns out

i had some problems with it too, checking out the syslinux version.
