okay i started a new thread because i had two topics in one -
i got the iso burned and tried it 3 times on 2 different computers.
first i downloaded the .iso and extracted it, then burned it and marked it as a bootable cd - restart with cd in computer and it hangs as the iso linux copyright with a blinking cursor
second burn i used the iso file to directly burn to a disc which was also marked as a bootable disc option. same outcome on the same computer
3rd burn i thought i had an option wrong in the iso burn (emulation type) and burned another copy and tried it on another machine - hangs at booting from cd then after a minute or two starts the default system os
what gives?
