If we want to keep this information it should be be documented in a better place than a long list of questions that users tend not to read. --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.xml | 24 ------------------------ 1 file changed, 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.xml b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.xml index a2385a917c..9cfd695437 100644 --- a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.xml +++ b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.xml @@ -1272,30 +1272,6 @@ - - - I booted from a CD, but the install program - says no CD-ROM is found.
