   Recently, elaich popped out over the fence   
   around alt.os.linux.ubuntu and said...   
   |First, let me mention that I've had this problem with several Linux Live    
   |CDs.   
   |   
   |I downloaded Edgy, and burnt the iso in Windows using IsoBurn. Unbuntu    
   |was very slow to boot up, or to do anything after booting. I clicked on    
   |the Install icon, and 45 minutes later, had gotten to step 2 of 6. The CD    
   |deck showed constant activity, but nothing was happening. I finally went    
   |to bed, with the step two dialog box about halfway filled in, hoping that    
   |it would be finished by morning.   
   |   
   |When I got up, all activity had ceased. The dialog box was at the same    
   |point as the night before, and the system was frozen.   
   |   
   |I had the same problem with Live Cds containing Mepis & PCLinuxOS.    
   |However, Debian and Mandriva ran just fine from CD, as does Puppy Linux.    
   |All were burned on the same deck using IsoBurn.   
   |   
   |I'm wondering if some Linux distros do not recognize and install my CD    
   |deck properly. In these cases, the deck appears to be running at less    
   |than 1X. Using various Windows software designed to ferret out hardware,    
   |it either comes back as a TSST or Samsung. Windows itself reports it as a    
   |TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS-H492A.   
   |   
   |The computer is a Compaq with an AMD processor, 2.0 gHZ, and 256 M of    
   |memory.    
   |   
   |   
   Use the default (or "safe") BIOS settings.
