My *.iso won't boot at all.  The closest it's been to actually booting was when I got the error...
"Missing Operating System"
I tried burning it as *.ISO and as *.IMG and neither one worked.
Did I do somthing wrong?  Is the .iso I downloaded corrupt?
It's dsl-0.7.3.iso

To see if the download is corrupt, check the md5sum with e.g. http://www.md5summer.org/

If you use Nero for burning use file -> burn image and then select dsl-0.7.3.iso.

I've used standard Windows burning, Sonic Record Now!, CDRWIN3, WINISO,  every type of burning software I have.  What exactly is the md5?  These are the files I downloaded...
dsl-0.7.3.iso
dsl-0.7.3.iso.txt <---This is the md5 file as text
frugal_lite.sh
In what format would I Burn the md5? Is the extension .md5 or something else?
