(1) Can you boot from your Lubuntu Natty Alpha CDs on a different machine? Just as a test that the CDs reall are bootable. (2) If the machine concerned has a floppy drive, consider using Smart Boot Manager to do an El Torito boot from a floppy (which then loads the CD). I would be interested to know whether this works. See http://btmgr.sourceforge.net for more about Smart Boot Manager. (3) Do please try the very newest Lubuntu Natty 11.04 Alpha 3 CD, which was announced today. I am not just saying this because I created it :) I used a more automated ISO creation process than was used for the other two CDs, so something *might* have changed that could help your machine to boot from Alpha 3, especially since my earlier alpha-20110228 ISO worked for you. Thanks for testing, and for reporting this issue, Jonathan -- Jonathan Marsden <jmars...@fastmail.fm> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
