Thanx craig did you check the md5sum to ensure your download was successful/not corrupted? there are md5 sum programs for windows and the md5 sum should be listed on the mirror. HTH Jerry.

Re: [newbie] ISO Downloads
Put the burned CD in a running computer and open it. If you see the file Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso, then you need to reburn it, but this time burn it as an image, not as a file. If, on the other hand, you see nothing, then CD is probably no good and you'll have to burn it again.

Thanx craig Sounds like an often made mistake, you copied the file and did not make an image from iso. Nero should have a tool that says make image from iso on the tool bar somewhere. I don't use Nero so may be wrong. Anybody else familiar with it? HTH Dennis M.

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.
