unable to boot Debian-Source DVD

Kilahchris · 10-27-2006, 11:03 PM

I Downloaded 2 Source Debian-Source 3.1 Sarge Distro and burned 2 dvd iso files. However the Dvd fails to boot.

My bios settings have the cdrom drive as the first device that can boot. My 2 DVD rom drives are able to boot other cds.

Im wondering why im not greeted with the Debian installer when i restart the machine with the DVD in the drive.

Im also wondering if the Debian-Source DVD are even bootable, should i have dowloaded the Debian-Binary?

AFAIK the source ISOs just contain source code. You will need DVDs with binary to install.
