Hi, |

You should perhaps give me more details. |

Just out of my memory, here are the two things I sometime forgot to check and |
| 13 |
that gave me the same problem: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
a) remeber vmware is a virtual pc. While booting press [F2] to get to the |
| 16 |
"Virtual BIOS" and check that booting from CD is selected. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
b) if /dev/cdrom does not work, try /dev/hdc or whatever your CD really is. |
| 19 |
Oh, and make sure that a box saying something like "legacy emulation" is |
| 20 |
checked, otherwise it won't boot from the CD as far as I remember. |
