<p>Sorry....I was under the impression that you never "named" another distro on a different mailing list....the distro is Red Hat Enterprise Linux......I downloaded the ISO from a mirror site and assumed it would install just like Scientific /CEntOS.....but its totally different....I guess if the only way to get it to work is to sign up for the RHN support I might have to just let it go....</p>

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

This is silly, without the distro name we would be guessing. And if their support list is exclusionary to that extent, is this really a direction you want to go?<br>
