Re: Trick to burning a bootable Debian CD?
Hi Steve,
You should burn the cd as a .iso, not sure about data though...i think
if you just double click on the iso and tell it to open with your cd
burning software it should make it bootable by default. I've not used
windows for a while so my info may be a little inaccurate.
It works over here on everything, so it should work. Try it again and
burn it as an iso image.
HTH,
Tam.

Greetings,
Although able to boot from a (purchased)
Debian 3.0 i386 Install #1 NON-US CD, the CD I burned using Roxio Easy CD
Creator 5 Basic and debian-30r2-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso won't boot in the same
Pentium desktop clone. The directory structures of the two CDs appear to be
identical (in Windows98 Explorer). Is that CD image not bootable? Is there more
preparation required to make the resulting CD Linux bootable? (It was burned as
a data CD.) Is there a simple way to verify the MBR? Thanks,
Steve K.
