Slackware Linux Bootable CD…

by tphillips . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

I have been trying to burn the Slackware Linux OS version 8.1 onto a bootable CD. I downloaded the ISO image file off of a repudable server, it is approximately 650 MB file (slackware.iso). Using Easy CD Creator version 3.4 I select the option to “Create CD from Disc Image…” I then pointed to the slackware image file. The CD burned successfully. Brief Description of the CD contents: 3 Directories ( isolinux, kernels, slackware ) and 14 files in the root of the CD. I tried to boot to the CD but it seemed to bypass the CD and load the systems OS (Windows 2k). I then proceeded to check the BIOS, The CD-ROM drive was before the HD in the boot sequence. I also checked if the system can boot to a CD, so I then inserted a known bootable CD (Windows 2k CD) at it booted to the CD successfully. Note I have tried the Linux Slackware CD on multiple machines, still nothing.

Any assistance would be helpful. Thanks Allot!
