  1. Primary Master; f)floppy; c)CD-ROM; l)LAN; I tried all of them and and everytime it gives me the error:"FATAL Could not read from the boot medium.System halted." And my CD_ROM image is allright,I downloaded it from here and extracted it,then made an ISO file with Brasero,the file occupies now 44.3 Mb. What should I do? What did I do wrong?
