Ahh, okay. Sorry for my ignorance on the matter; I'm completely new to Linux.

Actually, I've tried 2.4, Safe 2.4, and 2.6. They all have the same results; after a few minutes, it just dies.
I wonder if it's actually a problem with my CD drive...

you dont seem to have enough processing power for MEPIS, your not going to have much luck with that. try a lighter distro, say for example Damn Small Linux
Hmm, okay. Oh well, I guess that's what I'll have to do.

No problem - we just have to understand where we all are.
Helps if we all are at the same starting point ...
