I thought I might try Netrunner, after my F16 went "BOOM!". and I'm not having much luck. I've been able to install Xubuntu with luck and am now aiming for dual boot with Netrunner. So. I'll save you time and skip ahead to the important stuff.

I installed Xubuntu 11.10 that was previously burned on a cd into the main cd drive of the computer, which has no DVD reading capabilities, booted fine with no problems. After going through setup and all, the installation was complete. I then had the good old Xfce desktop. Then, I burned Netrunner onto a DVD-r disc with a separate windows 7 machine. Then, I used my external HP drive that does read DVD-R. But sadly I could not boot into it. And yes, I have set the boot priority to the disc drives first.

HELP,
