1169761 2011-01-14 22:32:00 Still looking for a simply Linux, for my poor old lappy and have found, wattOSR3.

It down loaded as an ISO Image and I can't, for the life of me, remember what to do with it.

I know it's a dump question, but I'm still relearning parts of my brain, so would appreciate your nice comments?

Thanks,

Ian

1169762 2011-01-14 22:42:00 burn the image onto a disc, than boot the lappy from the disc. make sure the setting on the lappy is set to boot from disc first. ronyville (10611)

1169766 2011-01-14 23:21:00 So I just use Windows Copy and Paste onto DVD, correct? ianhnz (4263)

errrr.. nope. what burning software do you use? normally you just right-click on the iso file and choose the option such as "burn image to disc"

1169768 2011-01-14 23:26:00 Um, I just use what Windose supplies... ianhnz (4263)

No offence intended, but if you have to ask perhaps Linux isn't the best option for you, more so an obscure one...

What are the specs of your laptop?
