For you to checksum your iso, you do this on a unix/linux machine: $ md5 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso and compare the checksum printed to that published on that page. If the checksum is different, then you got some corruption and need to download the image again. My guess is that the software you used didn't burn the iso correctly. Load up 6.4 and burn your CD from there, something like the following should do it: # burncd -f /dev/acd0 data 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso fixate Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
