We put fedora on it at the time because ubuntu could not be installed because of secure boot at the time, and the user wanted to be able to boot into windows. Fedora was one of the first distros to get a certificate. In any case fedora now core dumps. In truth, I was time constrained, and did not boot into single user mode . Question: The bios recognizes USB HDD but not USB sticks . I still have a few DVD-RW but I would rather use a USB stick. Is there a way to fool the bios to boot the USB stick What I really want to do is recover the data. I was able to boot an old version of fedora that I happened to have in my ancient DVD collection. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf.li...@gmail.com> Boston Linux and Unix http://www.blu.org PGP key id: 6F6BB6E7 PGP Key fingerprint: 0EDC 2FF5 53A6 8EED 84D1 3050 5715 B88D 6F6 B B6E7 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
