MythDora ... Not Yet

Running anaconda 11.4.1.62, the MythDora system installer - please wait...

My current theory as to why I can't install MythDora from DVD or CD or LiveCD is that I have bad burns from OS X. Maybe it doesn't set all the right "bootable DVD" signals so that something (including libpython) isn't extracted or mounted at boot. I believe the error message because I can't find libpython when I mount the image in OS X.

The other possible theory is that the hardware I'm using is just that screwy. Linux is strongest on slightly older hardware (so that someone has written the drivers for it), so I asked for a cast-off. This cast-off, it was finally admitted to me, is unwanted because it was not stable as a Windows XP box. I've got another cast-off (same reason, but different-enough hardware to try again) to try.

Argh.
