help to install

[edwin coime]

On my own experience, some of the older cd-rom is not capable or reading a bootable cd. I think if you do all the cmos setup correctly then probably it's a hardware limitation.

Try to create a bootable linux floppy disk just to start up the linux installation.

Are you able to boot the machine from the hard disk and if so can you 
then read the CD?  If you can't read the CD you have a hardware problem. 
  If you can then is the machine really set to boot from the CD.  On 
some machines you can select 2 or 3 boot devices in order, try selecting 
the CD for all of them.
