[Cooker] AIR - ISO not bootable?

2000-01-17 Thread Brad Boutwell
Title: AIR - ISO not bootable?





This may be a dumb question, but isn't the ISO supposed to be bootable? I can't get the CD to boot OR rawwritewin to work for a bootable floppy...I get an error saying the a library failed to load...anyone else with similar difficulties? Could my ISO have been damaged during download (and still burn without errors)?

Brad


BTW Thanks to all who helped with my partition question...I found exactly the info I needed...

After my initial question, I thought the readers of this list were above such replies...I suppose I should have worded my question differently:

My newly downloaded ISO does NOT boot. Could my ISO have been damaged during download (and still burn without errors)?


TIA

I just realized that I may have taken that reply WAY out of context and shot myself in the foot all at once...irony is so weird )

My apologies Pixel...I evidently am rounding out the people I was stereotyping :)

the burning does not verify anything, you can even burn a .tar.gz and it will
burn with no warning nor error.

try an md5sum

My rawwritewin gave the same "library failed" problem, but the dos

worked fine...

It's not the first time someone's run foul of that setting sheepish grin

 Under Windows NT it will work fine, under 95/98 it needed a DLL,
 diskio.dll to run. I'm not sure if this is included on the Air CD-ROM,
 but you ca always download rawritewin from it's website. explore2fs is a
 great tool as well, perhaps this should be on the next mandrake cd.
