Title: Linux Not Installing
Post by: King13p on January 02, 2007, 10:55:00 AM

Alright, I burned YDL on a DVD using magiciso at 4x. I get to the spot where it looks like linux is starting up and then kboot comes up. I hit tab to install and then my next thing says NO VRS Found and then it shuts off. Did I burn the CD wrong? should I unzip the ISO and burn it that way or burn it as an ISO with MagicISO?

you need to burn as an iso with magiciso.  you installed the bootloader correctly via a usb key or something right?

if your talking about the first part where I do the install other OS with those files then yes, its just that when I try to hit tab/install when Kboot apears it doesn't want to install

If i recall, is there an option to check the disc?  can you do that?  or try reburning the .iso (maybe even download again) and try again.

I'm not even sure, all it said was to wait till Kboot apears and hit the tab button till you see Install and press enter, I'm very basic to any type of command prompt but I'm sure I screwed up the disc somehow. I burned it on a DVD+R because thats all my computer can burn on, but I doubt that would be the problem. Anyone yet get windows to run much better? I heard it runs real slow and the only way is to install the linux first right?
