instalation problem-- was Re: fc3 download

[Al Puzzuoli]

Interesting.  What I  know for sure based on sighted assistance is that if I 
attempt to boot disk 1, the text "boot from CD" flashes for a few seconds, 
and then the system falls back to booting Windows.  My first thought was 
that my boot sequence was messed up, but the boot.iso works just fine.

Weird.

If I have the same problem with disk 1 of the regular set, maybe I'll try 
booting it from the other rom on this machine to see if it makes a 
difference.
