I wanted to try this Live cd,
I downloaded and burned ISO
put it in my machine rebooted
first error was vesamenu.32 dos error
I don't have windows so I manual did
/boot/vmlinuz
starts to boot then it can't find the root directory on cdrom so I get kernel panic...
what do I do to get this live cd to work so I can try out this software before installing on my harddrive?

Hello...
Have you check the md5 checksum of SMS.Live.CD-1.3.13.iso you downloaded?
Try to burn it on lower speed, or place it on your HDD and boot with the parameter from=/dev/yourdisk/SMS.Live.CD-1.3.13.iso
There is nothing special to do for booting the livecd.

I tried livecd in a different machine it seems to work fine.

The machine I want to use it on is an AMD Duron with two hard drives broken up into 5 partitions could this be the issue?
