Thanks, that's exactly it. Doesn't recognize DVD-Rs (hence Fedora), but i
managed to get it to boot from a CD-R with Ubuntu. Now installed.
Thanks,
Ian

Old Toshiba DVD drives only support DVD-ROMs, they cannot read DVD-R,
DVD+R or any rewritable DVD. What you need is a multi-reader DVD
drive, which can read all types of DVD media. Better yet, get yourself
a DVD multi-burner.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regarding booktyping, it seems to me that upon closing a DVD+R, you can
fake its ID so that old DVD readers recognize it as a DVD-ROM.<br>

Some of the older Thinkpad DVD drives don't recognize DVD-Rs, although<br>
they have no problem with regular DVDs. I saw this on an early 770X DVD<br>
drive.
<br>
<br>
This shouldn't be a problem on a T23, but who knows?<br>
