Laptops :: problem running DSL

Moving this one to the Laptops area and closing the other one.

What about the media. I have an old CDROM in my p200 and it has trouble reading from 700M disks (can't boot, using boot floppy with root= option, DSL, Ubunto, DeliLinux, can't read Burned Win98 on 700M disk, can't read burned backups on 700M disks either). I have the same problem with an older parallel backpack writer. Some older drives just won't read the newer disks. Try to find a 650M disk to burn the DSL and burn at 1x speed and see if that helps.
