   I tried to boot one of the Mandriva 2012 ISOs today, but my BIOS didn't even   
   see it.  I was about to blame the DVD or the release, when Fedora 16 did   
   exactly the same thing.   
      
   The Fedora forum suggested that my BIOS is out of date.  Something called EFI.   
   I downloaded the latest update for my BIOS, but it made no difference.  The   
   guy who started the thread asked: "Does that mean I have to go out and buy a   
   new computer?"  The reply was: "Not for this one issue."  What else can he do,   
   except change his distro?  I need to stop fiddling and stick with Mageia.   
   No doubt the same thing will happen there and everywhere, eventually.
