[PLUG] resolved [Linux install issue on W8 machine reading dvd]

[fred james]

Thank you for your help ... the Acer problem resolved when the box died, and
was retruned to the retailer.

I got an HP Privilion (W8 again) and faced the same problem, but I applies
some things you suggested and found the final answer here ...

... wherein it is (sort of) explained how to get the CD/DVD to boot.  I say
sort of because it isn't a perfect world, eh?  But we got there, and that is
the main point.
Thanks again
