Since you did burn as an image, with the next d/l do a check on the md5sum for each iso. You can do this by going to the folder that the .iso is in and from a console type "md5sum filetocheck.i586.iso" or whatever the file name is and then after a few minutes an alpha numeric string will be spit out. Compare that to what the mirrors md5sum file says. Any difference indicates a bad d/l. (all that just in case you haven't done it before. If you are doing it in a windows environment there are some progs on the net to do md5sum checks in windows, do a google search and you should find a couple. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
