At this moment 6.4 is still supported but that will cease after 8.0 is released. If you run into problems with 6.x, the first advice you will get is to upda= te to 7.2 and see if that fixes the problem. Avoid that extra work by installi= ng 7.2 instead of 6.x. Before you do any upgrading/installing, make sure you've backed up any important data! :-) > But it can not install from CD Rom.

Normally booting from CD-rom means from a built-in CD-ROM!
