Are you another troll.

1300312 2012-09-13 09:42:00 tmrafi is definitely on something :D
The problems he has had has had nothing to do with Linux as he hasn't even got there yet.

1300313 2012-09-13 09:52:00 Anyway, would do it tonight, but have to leave as of now. See you all tomorrow so you can solve my problems then :D

Don't worry, it happens :)

You should ask Jen about the time I burned her off an old redhat / fedora distro, I think I went through some 6-7 CD's back in the day? Funny story anyways, but it happens to all of us :)

Good luck and we'll see you tomorrow no doubt.

He did say it was a pain, and we can all predict more to come. If he is os curious, enjoy the pain.

1300317 2012-09-13 17:25:00 We shall see,. My penguin crystal ball tells me Nick will be back again and again and again and again. If he enjoys that learning then well done. Tmrafi advised that linux is a pain because of xyz and the MANY problems he will encounter. I read those posts and agree 100%. Linux = too many cooks spoil the broth. sam m (517)
1300318 2012-09-13 21:03:00 We have the same problem with both Windows AND Mac users, so I don't understand your point? Chilling_Silence (9)
1300319 2012-09-13 21:17:00 You have to set the bios to boot from the CD.
I did. Still didn't work, that was as I burned the ISO incorrectly so it went to my secondary boot option. Then, when I burned it correctly, the file was only a 1/4 finished. Well, here I come again.

Yup, I'll be back again and again and again, guaranteed. Also guaranteed I'll get really helpful support here that solves my questions, and a couple of months in I'll be zipping along linux wondering how I ever thought it would be so hard. If your point is windows will never have that issue, show someone a win8 pc and watch them struggle. Of course I enjoy that learning - its the reason that I'm on the forums and trying linux after having given win8 a go.
