after I got DSL 0.8.0 downloaded I checked the md5 and it checked out, I unpacked the iso and burned the file to a CD-R when I boot the CD it just says error loading operating system, anyone know what's wrong?

you unpacked the iso?

you need to use something that will let you burn the image to a cd.

with *nix, that's easy. just type this.
Code Sample
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 /path/to/iso


in windoZzz i recommend Alex Feinman's ISO Recorder. Its a plug-in for XP only that works extremely well.

Click here to download it.

If you are on an older version of M$, use a nero demo. If you don't know where that is, GOOGLE.

EDITUS MAXIMUS: ISO Recorder doesn't work with XP SP2, not that anything really works right with it, but anyway.
