I know this is a Fedora-oriented community mailing list, but seeing
as how I don't have "access" to another distro's "support
network" I figured I would ask here and hope for the best. Here's the scenario:
I recently downloaded and burned to DVD the .iso file for a certain Linux distro, and
everything checked out fine in regards to the download / burn-copy process. But when I
insert the CD into another laptop to install this distro onto that laptops's hard
drive I get to the main installation menu, which offers me the option to install using the
Command Line or the GUI. I chose the GUI (since I suck at the comand line...for NOW!) and
the first selection after I chose the GUI is to choose my language, then to set the
keyboard, but immediately after those it asks me to select the type of CD drive (SCSI or
"Other") I have gone through the ENTIRE list of offerings in those lists but it
doesn't recognize ANY of them.....can someone please tell me what the proper procedure
is to get me past this point?....the laptop in question is a Lenovo T-420 with 4 GB of
memory..a 320 HDD...and an internal / modular CD-ROM drive....
name the distro in question.
