1 I have a system that I want to use as my firewall for my home network. The
2 only problem is that the cd does not boot from my cdrom. This is interesting
3 in itself since libranet linux boot from this cdrom.
4
5 I have grub installed on this computer already, and I want to run the
6 install cd. Is there some grub command that I can give to have the computer
7 read the boot info on the cdrom?
8
9 I really want to put linux on this system, but none of the documentation
10 that I am reading is letting my know how to do it.
11
12 Hope you can help me.
