    I can't get the autoinstall CD to load...

    I downloaded the Debian autoinstall package and burned the iso to disc as an image. However I can't get it to autoload or even load at all in my Linux machine. Is there a command I can use to get it to boot CD on the next start up? Or anything else I can do? THanks.

    Set the BIOS to boot from CDROM, put disk in drive, and reboot.

    Doesn't work. I even cleared all my partitions and tried to boot up from the CD with the HD clear. There must be something wrong with the iso.

    I don't exactly understand your question but booting from any other CD works.

    Okay, so you can boot from other CDs then your BIOS is setup correctly, my guess is that the cd is bad.

    I also downloaded another copy of the iso from a different location and burned it as an image and it won't load either.

    Can you make a boot floppy? I think there are instructions to make a floppy from an image on the CD, and boot from that, and run the installer from there.
