There is live CD distro ISO file updating any time...

Simply you download it, burn a CD from the ISO file and autoboot with no problems without harming your system...


Yes. I have tried that a few times already... downloaded the ISO, burned it to CD, and rebooted my pc, but then nothing much happens. The only thing that shows up is a grey (black? don't really remember) screen, sometimes with a mousepointer (which moves - so it DOES do something), and sometimes without the pointer. Am I doing something wrong, or should I wait more than about 5 minutes for something to happen?

I tried it the first time somewhere last year, and the last ISO that I burned and tried was from some 2 months ago..


Does AROS have known issues with certain Wintel systems? Mine is a Asus A7V333 mobo, with AMD XP 2000+ CPU (256MB Ram).
