Sorry. Your messages tend to run together a bit. I
have trouble
reading them. But I 'm old (46) and it 's probably my
fault. :-( I
appologize.

Ah, good...so we know it 's good media--as far as
booting is concerned.

Ok, did you see it actually try the CD (did the light
flash) or did
it simply skip over it and go to the hard drive?

On the school system? Really? From the same make of
blank media?
That 's VERY weird.
Well, I suppose you could force an install by using a
boot floppy if it
won 't boot the CD. If you can, mount the first CD
under Linux and put
a blank floppy in the floppy drive. As the root user:
# cd /mnt/cdrom/images
# dd if=bootdisk.img of=dev/fd0 bs=1k
# cd /root
# umount /mnt/cdrom
That will build your bootable floppy. You can then
boot the system off
the floppy and install from the CD.

Sorry, lost the previous messages and didn 't have a
record of that.
Gee, that should work with no problem.
