Hey,
I have a Phillips external dvd writer which i cant get to boot from. my other DVD/Cd combo reads only cd but not dvds.
i wanted to know if we could split the fedora core 3.2 GB disc into smaller bootable cds.
Help will be praised,
Thanks in advance

No need to split DVD into CDs. You can boot from the external Philips drive by setting first boot device as 'USB CD ROM' in BIOS.
