[Sussex] Linux woes

[Simon Dawson]

Are you sure you are creating a bootable disk?

It is not enough just to burn the ISO file to a CD. Under K3b you have to go 
to Tools > CD > Burn CD image.  You cannot just create a CD project, drag a 
file to it and burn.

It's a long time since I've done it on Windows, but Nero does have a similar 
feature - I think!!

Hope that helps.
