Ok, seems the new version of the LiveCD still won't work with the old Celeron Gateway! It does't even see the CD though, so I am not sure what is going on with it. Or it sees it, but treats it as a non-bootable CD and goes right to the regular Linux bootup. So at least for this machine, the new LiveCD still doesn't work.
Lee =============== Lee,
I had the same problem, then I saw where Marshall Heartley posted a fix for making this iso into a bootable cd on SLE on May 5th:
"You can try and burn it from the command line. Like so: cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=12 -eject -data (name of iso including the extension). Substitute for the correct device, speed and name of image file on your system. I did burn a Live CD and it works very well for me here."
I tried his suggestion, and only had to put the name and location of the iso image (Desktop/LiveCD-9.1-01.iso for me) into his command line example - my laptop figured correctly that dev=0,0,0 was pointing to the built in burner. Anyway, I got a nice, bootable CD, and 9.1 certainly looks nice.

Thanks Andy for the suggestion. Seems I was mistaken about the amount of ram in this system, as it only had 192mb where I thought it was 256mb. I did burn a disc from your & Marshall's instructions, but it seems, if there is not enough ram in the system, it won't run.
