I am trying to make a set of installation cd's, I have downloaded the "enigma-i386-disc1.iso" and "enigma-i386-disc2.iso" from redhat and when I burn this to cd's and try to install it skips right over the cd's and launches windows. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Two things occur to me here...

1. The CD you created isn't a bootable one. This seems a little unlikely, but a double check in the enigma documentation would be worthwhile.

2. Your BIOS isn't set to boot from CD first.

Cheers,
Tim.

Howdy, You must set your BIOS to boot from the CDROM first, or floppy, then CDROM, then HDD. That's all you need to do to get the CDROM to boot.

Try pressing at the first graphics screen you see at boot up. (or other key sequence that is usually specified in the lower left corner). This will prompt you for which device you would like to boot from.

Make sure you burn this to CD as an image, and not just burn a data CD. The CD will not be bootable if you burn it as a regular data CD. Also, make sure your BIOS is set to boot off of the CD first before floppy and hard drive.
