> When installing from the new CD, you may first need to create a bootable
installation diskette. <EM

formatted diskette!</EM

can result in strange problems during the installation! On a Linux system,
you can create the diskette using the <TT

insert the boot diskette and your freshly burned CD, and let the machine

>8.1. Booting from a bootable CD</H2
><P
> Most modern machines are able to boot directly from a CD, provided it is
made bootable with the procedure outlined in section <A
HREF="include-updates.html#ISO-IMAGE-CREATE"
>Creating the CD iso image</A
>.
Often, however, you need to change the setting of the BIOS to make the CD
drive bootable. See the documentation for your mother board to see how
it's done.
