Hi all; I downloaded the centos 4.3 image onto my linux box and used k3b to burn a DVD iso image. It seemed to work fine. I have an SuSE laptop and I want to setup a CentOS VM via Vmware 5.5 If I insert the dvd and boot the new vm I get 'no operating system found' It seems to be a non-bootable dvd. Is there something additional I need to do when burning the dvd image to make it bootable? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you sure you didn't just burn the iso to dvd? Pop it into your drive and if you only see the .iso file that's what you did.

You need to move the CD boot order up. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
