Hi,
I have FC5 and I'd like to upgrade. I have downloaded the FC8 and made
a DVD. When I reboot my laptop to start installation, it cannot
recognize the FC8 DVD and fails to start with that so in contiunes
with the old OS that I had. What' s wrong? is it related to FC8 or my
computer?

the output message when you failed.

Actually it doesnt give any message. It says just ''boot from optical
drive...'' (as it's supposed) and then after few seconds goes to the
original dual boot manager which I could choos between Windows or
Linux. so in somehow, it simply ignors DVD !

first boot from cd

I tried that one also but the same situation. I think it might related
to type of processor, i.e I had to get the x86 instead
of the other one because I have acer with Centrino. I did this and I
hoped it goes through smoothly but unfortunately
the same again !! any other idea?
