Re: booting from DVD?

I guess I must be missing something about making the DVDs bootable

Thoughts?

I would re burn the iso trying like I said.  find the .iso in your file
browser, right click on it, and select "write to disc".  gnome will burn
it as an .iso, should be able to boot from it ok then.  let me know.

after a little research, I'm starting to conclude that either I need to update the firmware in my cd/dvd drive, or figure out how to burn the dvds with book-type set to dvd+r (the default burning software seems to burn with book-type dvd-rom - which I'm discovering some drives have a hard time processing)
