how to install linux with iso filename
how to install linux with iso filename ive already downloaded the installer with *iso and i try to boot the cd 1 on the computer but when i boot up the pc it didnot repond .. i already set the bios to boot on cd ..
any other way to install it to my computer |
When you burnt the cd with the .iso file you didnt just burn the file onto the cdrom did you. When you burn a .iso file you have to burn it as an image because the .iso file needs to be extracted onto the cdrom. Not sure if this is your problem.

well i downloaded the file from a certain site and save it on my HD after that i burn the save file *.iso then thats it and it doesnt work when i try to install it..
- any suggestion in installing it to my pc |
Well, you need to burn the iso as an image. Don't just put the file on a CD. In nero, there is an option under the File menu that says "Burn image" - use that.

All your telling me though is that you burned the .iso file. If you just burn an iso file onto a cdrom its not gonna be bootable its just going to be a .iso file on a cdrom. It needs to be burned as an image file. What are you using to try and burn it. Most burning applications have an option to burn an image onto a cdrom.

well kinney thanks for the reply ill try that by tom. ill burn the cd again as an image file
thanks! |
I had the same problem burning an iso image for a patched kernel version of linux *iso file. You don't need to use Nero - you should have a prog called cdrecord.. do a 'which cdrecord'.
you'll need to do a 'cdrecord -scanbus' to find out what the dev ID's are (dev=0,0,0). You'll see something like the following... 0,0,0 0) 'TOSHIBA ' 'DVD-ROM SD-M1202' '1020' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * We're only concerned with the first 3 numbers in the TOSHIBA line. Put this in the command line below, where dev= type in 'cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -data /blah/blah/whatever.iso' BTW, don't forget the -data flag. I forgot it and burned the "file" not the "image" onto 3 CD's. I believe the data flag tells it to burn bit-for-bit. I can't remember, but you might have to tell it the filesystem type iso9660 - don't quote me on that! Good luck. |
