Disk doesn't contain file diskboot.img so how do I create a bootable USB stick?

Shift from Plastic DVD Case to Paper Wrap

Ralph from Berlin Sep 10, 2008 3:59pm GMT

As a subscriber of your magazine I was used to your flat DVD plastic cases.
Since you went "green" with your last issue the case disappeared.
As a RHEL/CentOS/Fedora user I am particularly interested in storing DVDs covering one of those distros
while I usually don't care too much for the others (e.g. OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, Xandros for me are the usual throw away candidates)
So at least I would expect some DVD cover sheet PDF or similar to print out and wrap my own case with it.
But I cannot find it on your website.
Did it also fell prey to your GreenIT ambitions?
I know that these days DVDs seem hardly justified as almost anyone has flat rate high bandwidth Internet subscription.
Me too, so I could well run an overnight atjob to download the ISO and have it burned on a DVD.
But still this would take 2-3 hrs. and then, lacking a fancy disk printer, the hand scribbled title wouldn't look as pleasing.

Missing DVD case cover sheet

I miss the cases, though I can do without them, but would really like to have the inserts so I can continue to reuse the cases I have for the distros I particularly like to keep. Would it be too much trouble to continue to provide the case inserts?

Monthly DVD covers for download will be back

Thank you for your feedback! We will reinstate the monthly DVD covers for download. This will go back to #95 / October 08, the first one shipped without the plastic box, so there will be no gap in your collection.

Please check back for the DVD inlays in the Archives a few weeks: http://www.linux-magazine.com/issues

what's the dvd not recognized as disk 1 with gui install error "fix"

jmooo Sep 25, 2008 11:06pm GMT

I have 2 F9 DVD's, one "respin" form Linux mag...thanks very much..plus one I downloaded.
Both give the same error and "test" OK.
When running a gui install, after selecting packages when the progress bar is about 70% a dialog box appears asking for disk 1. I've not found a way to get past this with the gui install.
Text mode install works just fine....
What's the fix?
