Dear Colleagues, I am responding to: "Fedora Core 2 test3 Available! Notable changes in this release include: - The 'CD1 won't boot' issue appears to be resolved. Any reports of continued failure are certainly appreciated." This is very good news for those using linux-bootable CDROM. Attached tables show that most of Intel main boards are not linux compatible and many Intel BIOS drivers consider the linux boot CDROM just as a CDROM. My Intel Desktop Board D845BG featuring Intel Express Installer belongs to this category and so many of my students PC. Before kernel 2.6 that was no problem because boot-floppies were doing the job. A solution now seems to develop a sort of two-floppy boot system. That will help people without linux-bootable CDROM's or similar devices. It would be usefull for others, too, because floppy-boot is very simple and convenient. Best regards Jonas Mockus
