If you are using Mandrake linux and have K3B installed when you click on a ISO file it should automaticaly open in K3B if that does not work right click the file and ckick ofen with and select K3B. K3B should automaticaly detect it as a ISO file and make the correct adjustments to the process. Make sure that you manually adjust the CD burning speed to 1/2 the burning speed of your CD burner or 8X witch ever is less. SLOWER IS BETTER for burning ISO's. K3B also has a menu that you can scroll down after youn select a ISO file and K3B opens. If you scroll down the menu you will find that K3B has run MD5sums. Check to see that the output from that matches with the MD5sums figure that was downloaded with the ISO images. Needless to say if you used windoze to download things will be a bit different but 1 of the windoze CD burning utilities should handle it 1 way or another.

Thanks Christophe I'd wager that when you burned it to CD-ROM you actually just ended up coping the .iso image over as the one, large file. You need to select the option in your burning program that reads something like Burn CD Image (under Tools in K3B, for example, or similar in other programs).

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.

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.

Re: [newbie] *.Iso check up
Also download the mdsum.90 file, then run md5sum filename.iso to produce it's checksum, then compare the results to the lines in the mdsum.90 file. You should do this before burning the iso's so you do not waste time and media on a bad iso file.

RE: [newbie] ISO help
Hmmm .I just asked basically the same question and I spent the last few hours banging my head against the monitor trying to figure it out. What you need is a boot disk the installer will allow you to install from an ISO on your HDD only on 8.0 (I tried on 7.0). Im hesitant (wisely, I think) to attach the boot image and the rawrite utility over the list. You might be able to get it online w/ a google search. Once you have the boot disk you will be able to get to your ISO file on your HDD no problem. I did this 5 minutes ago and it worked great. If you cant find the disk online, write back and Ill attach it to you only. And if youre running windows, theres a messed up way of working around this with a program called iso2fcd in combination with a virtual cd rom program.

In the pop-up window navigate to the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK 6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK. 7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to show the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped option should be checked.Click OK. 8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and are not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed, simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the process of burning the CD will begin. When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd. Hope I have not made it seem too complicated.

Mike Tracy Holt wrote: The iso image already is bootable so you should be able to just use the iso cd. I've just downloaded nero to try out on win2000 (because the idiots at Adaptec don't feel they should have to support their software with win2k), but with easy cd creator under win98 you just double click on the iso file and it does the rest. With nero I believe that the option to make a bootable cd is if you copy raw data and specify an 'image file' (such as cdrom.img found under the /images directory) to be burned onto the root directory. The idea behind the iso image being premade is so that you can just put that file on a disk and all the preparation work has been done for you. Mike hey, I just downloaded the ISO files for Mandrake 7.1 (650MB and 340MB) now how exactly do I burn them? I'm using Nero software which give's you an option to burn CD (ISO) or CD (Boot), etc. my system supports the boot from CD, I'm just not sure how burning an ISO file on a CD will make it bootable... cheers, paul. NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in the manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do: 1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each and choose rename;(example) mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg 2) Launch NERO 3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main window open. 4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/ Choose recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked as the recording device. 5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate to the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK 6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK. 7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to show the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped option should be checked.Click OK. 8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and are not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed, simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the process of burning the CD will begin. When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd. Hope I have not made it seem too complicated. If you have any problems or other questions you can reply to the list or, contact me direct if you choose. Charles

RE: [newbie] ISO download
Under LINUX, you can use a reverse lookup under MOunt to open it and pull files from and use it. Under windows, [I'm assuming you're using Windows]. you have to get a program called WinImage from Volliant software that can open and extract files from it. I think the url is www.winimage.com. If you just want to intsall it. you can also download the individual directories and stuff from any miorror.

From: David van Balen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between an iso distro and a "regular" one? An .iso file is a CD image. If you have a CD burner (and a fast net connection), you can just download this file to your drive, and burn it to a CD (as an image, not a file--check the software docs for info), and you'll have a complete, correct CD.
Re: [newbie] iso
It's an iso image, iso9660 is the cd iso std. I.E. you use your cdr to burn the iso image onto the cd.
