Does not Boot from the CD. or a DVD. The CD Works fine on other systens, Other OS CDs work fine on this system (Tecra 8100).
Your laptop CD/DVDrom is unable to read the specific media. I have a Tecra 8000. Although the CDROM is able to read most CD-R and R/W, I have experienced similar behavior with few CD-R media. The CDROM led will keep blinking ad infinitum. You might try burning the CD/DVD on to a different brand media.
HTH.
Yes I had already done all those. It did not take the CD provided by LinuxBazar at boot.(which works otherwise) it does not take another CD (moser baer) at boot, which too works otherwise. It does not take the CHIP DVD at boot, which too works otherwise. Which brings me to the admission that this was a red herring. They have just provided the ISO on the DVD and was not supposed to run anyways. It does accept other distros (including some sent by LB) at boot.
For now am using FC3.
I must add rony that i found Xandros pretty neat and I had earlier installed it on a different laptop. detection was not an issue. about the modem, it is not supposed to detect winmodems anyways, but had no problems in detecting external ones.
