YellowDog 3.0.1

hog · 10-28-2004, 04:23 PM

I have just downloaded the three iso files for yellowdog 3.0.1, checked the md5sum and burnt the iso files to cd.

Problem is the cd's don't boot? Any help on how I get them to load the install program?

Thnx

Thnx, but just to confirm that I have downloaded the 3 cd's from

http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=12

Checked the md5 and they are correct

Burn the ISO without error

But the cd's remain unbootable, (the systems reads on startup and then boots to the hard disk)

I have followed the exact same procedure as I did for getting SUSE 9.1 which I have installed without problem.

Help anyone?

Mmmm am I confused here? Is YDL designed for Apple Macs only and not IBM type PCs?

If so I have answered my problem as I dont have a mac!
