Now I burned openSUSE-10.2-RC1-i386-mini.iso with K3B and tried to start internet insatllation without succes. The PC does not start from these disc.

Has somebody any idea in wath direction to search for a solution?

Is your system set to boot from the dvd/cd drive before whatever is booting? Will your system boot from the dvd/cd drive? Does it boot at all?

I've had some issues with getting K3B to burn a "bootable" iso with manually selecting the settings... "but" when I open up the directory where the iso's are listed, viewing them in lets say, KDE's "konqueror" and "clicking" on the iso image, K3B will actually then burn a bootable iso with no issues. I can't seem to see where I'm missing the bootable flag at. These same iso's burn from command line with "cdrecord" just fine and boot fine too.

An iso is a binary image. You burn it in a special way, and you don't get to make any settings or anything else.

You burn ISOs in K3b by selecting tools / burn dvd iso image, (or Burn CD image if it is a cd) and then select the ISO from your hard drive.

If burned as an ISO image, it will be an exact duplicate of the original CD/DVD, and it will be bootable.

The ISO is a file. If you burn it as a file using k3b, you will have a disk with one BIG file on it. The disk won't be bootable.

Exactly true. It would make me wonder then why K3B would burn an "iso" image that would not boot, the I'd take another CD disk for the same stock, run the "cdrecord" command on the same system, same burner, same "iso" image -- and it would boot. It has happened many times in a row, now I "initiate" the K3B burn from a file manager like "konqueror" and all goes well. When I heard this exact same issue with the gentleman who posted, I had to chime in. I have no more problems with K3B at this point.

Insufficient data. ¿Error messages? For instance, if you mount that CD/DVD, what do you see in it? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
