Did you check the md5sum for the files right before burning them? I had a problem with one machine that never seemed to work, error after error. Turns out the isos got corrupted after I downloaded them. I had to leave in a hurry so I didn't have time to burn them, so I transfered them through samba to my laptop, somehow the transfer messed them up and I waisted a whole day debugging the machine before I finally checked the isos and found the problem. The errors sound like the same ones I had. Make sure you check the isos before burning them. -- Chris Frederick <cdf123 at cdf123.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
