Thank you for your response erik. The machine I'm trying to boot this on is an "old" dell inspiron 530.
Processor - Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60 GHz Ram - 1 GB I just thought of something... The HD is on the primary cable, and a DVD and CD are on the secondary. The DVD drive is the device setup as a boot device in the BIOS. Anything? Not really, right? Can I use any of the 9atom images on this PC? Are they only for install, or can I use them as live CDs? I'm downloading: http://ftp.9atom.org/other/9atom.iso.bz2 http://ftp.9atom.org/other/9atom.nboot.iso.bz2 http://ftp.9atom.org/other/+9atom.nboot.iso.bz2 You included 2 links to that last one. I'll try burning one of each of these and let you know how the process goes. I might not get back to you until later... but I will get back. If you meant to include a forth link, resend and I'll grab a copy of that and do the same. Thanks, Terry.
