# Hey a word in your shell-like sonny jim!
I downloaded that Slax Linux and it just doesn't boot at all.

What a waste of 180mbs of bandwidth and 2 CDS

# I mounted the iso using Daemon Tools

# yeah that won't copy the boot stuff
burn the iso to a disk in nero or whatever you have

'burn from image' or something similar

# mind
(I helped save b3ta! slight yoinks!, Sun 27 Feb 2005, 18:00, archived)
# ah that won't work
cos the cd needs the bootable 'bit' set.

your cd writer should have a 'burn image' option. use that and show it the iso file when it asks for the image.

# no that won`t work
you need to burn the ISO image straight to disk

if you just copy the files, you won`t get the boot sector copied :)

# emmmmmm from what I remember from when I installed, no, they`re not installed
but what you do is add repositories (like download locations, in case you don`t know much about it) and it`s based on Debian Linux, so you just enter extra download locations, and you can download pretty much anything, including xmms (proper mp3 support - disabled as standard), xine (dvd playback), flash player, wine (runs some Windows apps)... I thiiiink the NVidia driver needs an extra repository added - I got it going fairly quickly anyway (using some kind of GeForce 4 card at the min)

but you get stuff like Firefox and Thunderbird from the default repositories from what I remember

# I`d like to see it when it`s the stable release
we use Red Hat 8 I think in work for our big`n`nasty development server, and it`s been rock solid, but we`re gonna move it to Fedora when we get some time

that's the beauty of fedora, we're all just redhat's testing bitches :p

I`m not going to spend all my time playing with release candidates.. may as well just use Debian unstable ;)

# so
you didn't burn the isos as a big file on a normal data cd?

*snicker*

anyway he speaks the truth. ubuntu, suse or fedora are most likely what you seek...

I've burnt more CDs/DVDs than I can remember

# does anything happen?
or does it boot straight in to Windows? if so can you browse the CD and see all the files? (just to check the CD is readable)
