Other Help Topics :: newbie question. . .



huh. . . . .let me see about that. It is actually the program recommended by the documentation so I assume it works :P I'll look into that
OK, so I created an ISO image (or I think I did. . .) and when I re-booted it opened up this Calmera CD thingy, kept talking about various CD drive settings and stuff and never got to the linux :(:(:(:(

Don't know what's wrong. . .it started up the CD drive but then didn't do anything :( :angry:
I don't know what's wrong either.

Calmera...do you mean "Caldera DR-DOS" or something similar?
That would be something other than DSL.  Do you have a floppy disk in?  Like partition magic for example?
The first thing you should see is a DSL splash screen, followed by DSL welcome message, so if it's booting DSL there should be no mistaking what's happening.
Apparently it is booting something other than the CD.
DR-DOS is commonly included when some cd burner programs have the "bootable" checkbox marked.

Follow these instructionss EXACTLY:
