LILO or GRUB?

Mr_Floppy4

Damnit, the CD isn't booting.

Mr_Floppy4

Doesnt matter...they both do the same thing. The distro you use will probably have a default so just use that.

redhat will default to grub, but you can choose lilo if you want.

if you can't boot off the cd's, get the boot.img from redhat, and use rawrite to make a boot floppy. there is a media check on this as well to check the md5 sums

im new too to linux, so if this can help ....

1- check ur setup if its booting from cd s
2- like bardinjw said u can always makes a boot floopy
3- if u want always that ur cd be bootable, and that ur setup is fixed to boot from cd check of the way y burned ur redhat, ==== it happened to me a time and it was just cuz the software i used to burn my iso s on cds it made a bad cds ===
4- disable from ur setup the antivirus it do it too....
5- if all that dont work so see if u dont have a hardware problem....
well to give u the exact answer of all that i need a exact describtion of what happen with u....

good luck.
