newbie problem - booting from cd

[Bob Cortez]

I've had similar problems with some PC's.  Using the "Alternate CD" cured
the problem.

If your computer is not able to run the standard Desktop installation CD,
you can use an *Alternate installation CD* instead. The Alternate CD also
allows more advanced installation options which are not available with the
Desktop CD.
