Madrive - no CDROM?

krispenmetsa
I tried to install Fedore Core 4 on my seagate external USB hard drive. I used my IBM Thinkpad T42 laptop with Win XP Professional to attempt this. Initially I ran into problems because my USB hard drive was not recognized and not listed as an option to install Linux.
