I am a totally newbie to linux ...but interested and wannted to
install the linux on my PC ..did buy a book to go through ..and want
tio install using the CD rom drive ..I have configured BIOS to boot to
CD and install through it ..but when I restart the computer it doesnt
read the CD ..it waits for a while and boots windows.
I am trying to install the Linux on a new hard disk and no plans so
far to share it with Windows.

you can boot off the cd-drive? with some systems, even though
you can set to boot off the cd in the bios, you really cant.
you might have to create a boot floppy, boot off it, then
read off the cd
