Hi i hope that someone can help me,
i have tried persistently to download the ISO's and they seem to download fine. then i burn them to disk and that seems to go fine as well. However when i try to boot them all i hit is a looping Cloop error. Am i doing anything wrong. I have tried saveral versions of DSL to no avail on different machines.

Second question, i have recently built a mini pc with the aim of running it as a file server or firewall, but mainly to play with it ^_^, the system is based around the VIA EPIA 5000 with 512mb RAM. When i try to boot any version of a bootable linux i get an;

ISOLINUX 2.11 0x415e01eb iso linux Disk error :

which is interesting, will DSL work with this board assuming i can get a working boot CD??

well thats about it, any help would be very appreciated.
Cheers
WCD

Disk error... did you check your downloaded iso with the md5's?

Although this may not be it... you may need to use the syslinux boot cd's.
