I'm completely new to Foresight, but have some experience with Linux and installing it on several of my computers (having played at various times with Mandrake, SuSE, FC3/4, and most recently Ubuntu). I am interested in playing with Foresight for a bit on my laptop (a Dell Latitude D600) that has been running some variation of each of the above at different times over the past year -- bottom line there is that I know this to be a reasonably Linux-compatible little box.
I posted this same topic on the Foresight forum [1] yesterday afternoon, but as of this morning, I have seen any replies there on the forum. Hopefully someone here on the list can provide some insight. I downloaded the 0.9.3 iso's earlier yesterday (15 Dec) and burned them to CD (sounds like I am lucky to have missed the 0.9.2 boot problems). Slapped the first CD in the drive, rebooted, started through the boot process. First couple of steps (boot, language, keyboard) seemed to go OK, but when it got to the "Installation Method" page, asking "What type of media contains the packages to be installed?", I chose "Local CDROM" (with the other available choices there being Hard drive, NFS image, FTP, HTTP), and selected OK. It spun the CD drive, and pops up a page titled "CD Not Found", with the following message: The rPath Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the rPath Linux CD and press OK to retry." I retried on that CD several times, but no joy. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to giving this distro a shot -- hopefully some kind soul can point out the error in what I am doing here... -- Ron Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. http://forum.foresightlinux.com/index.php?showtopic=269 _______________________________________________ Desktop-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.bizrace.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-distro
