The only Fedora 12<br> CD I'm familiar with runs F12 as a live CD system and gives you the<br> option to install it to your hard disk by double-clicking an icon on<br> the GNOME desktop. I don't see how that's going to help me boot from<br> a USB or for that matter boot from the CD but use the USB the way the<br> SoaS boot CD does.<br> <br> If you can clear this up I'd appreciate it.<br> <br> James Simmons<br> <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 7:37 PM, Caroline Meeks <<a href="mailto:solutiongrove@gmail.com">solutiongrove@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > Jim,<br> > With the older machines that failed to boot, can you try a straight F12 CD<br> > and see if that works?<br> > Thanks,<br> > Caroline<br> ><br> > On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Jim Simmons <<a href="mailto:nicestep@gmail.com">nicestep@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> >><br> >> Caryl,<br> >><br> >> If you do choose to use a Boot Helper CD make sure you test booting up<br> >> from it before you go.
