Live CD from Linux User Developer not booting
I set my BIOS to boot from CD, but it just will not boot.
I boot other "Live" distros without any problem. I contacted the magazine, bu I have not received any response. Any ideas on this? I don't really care if I can't, I just wanted to see it perform. Thanks, |
What "Live CD" is it?
|
It was Linspire 5.0
Thanks, |
I'm not sure about the magazine's CD or its problems (I've seen the attached disk at the stores), but you can download a 'torrent of 5.0 here:
Linux ISO Torrents |
Downloading Will Begin....
Thanks my Friend,
I downloaded the BitTorrent and Azureus. A 645.9 MB file, I'm in business on this thanks to your tip. We all must help one another to shoew Mr. Gates, the public has other choices on an OS. I actually wasn't hell bent on this distro, I just wanted to see it as I am looking for another program to make me Hate MS Windows even more.... |
Heh, well, I'm kinda fond of Windows, but I like Linux too ;) I'm glad I could help, though :) I tried the torrent myself when I was looking for distros a few weeks ago, and it worked well for me...

I'm afraid I'm not very fond of Linspire very much. I do like the inline spell checking, but I found Simply MEPIS to be a bit more
user friendly and works well off the live CD. Linux is about making choices for now. I'm just glad I have a great replacement for Win 2000. Solaris rules, but the average home user will need better hardware support; i.e., PnP. Now, I will run Solaris, a flavor of Linux, and 2000 on a very small partition for 2 apps that weren't ported to UNIX or Mac. |
I've got a few options myself ;) For awhile, I had a triple boot Linux box with Mandriva (ugh ugh ugh), SuSE and ProMepis. Then I triple-booted Ubuntu, ProMepis and SuSE. Now I'm down to a dual-boot Ubuntu/SuSE box, have a new used Mac I just bought, and my faithful, beautiful XP box :D I think variety is the spice of life ;)
