I downloaded current.iso and burned it onto a CD.I tried booting it.
So, after I pressed enter and the logo came up, nothing happened, the logo just stayed there.
Did I get the wrong ISO? Or is it just my PC, or should I use a cheat code...

Check if md5summed and the checksums match to know if the ISO file was corrupted during the download process.

Something more:-Know that a corrupt ISO file can be fixed< Fixing a Corrupted ISO >
-Is not necessary you write a cheapcode. DSL can boot automatically anyway.
-Remember that a ISO image can't be copied directly to CD as other files. The option like to "Create a new data CD" or "Create a CD from an ISO image" must be set before burnning the CD.

I am sorry but what files do I run MD5summer on?
Posted by roberts on May 06 2006,17:22
Run md5sum check on the file ending with .md5.txtIt is a separate small file to download.

OK, download the file(md5.txt), MD5summer it, go into Roxio, click Burn from CD Image (or similar), but what do I do with the md5.txt file? Should that go on the CD as well?Checking Wiki for info.

This was the screen it froze on.
The brightness has been edited, but other than that, this is the imgae straight from the camera.

Make sure your using a cdr and burning at 4x.

16x, for your information.
Maybe I should switch to DSL-N? Or some thing else that will run from a LiveCD?
(I chose DSL because I am in fact testing it off a Windows XP PC, but if it works I'll use it on an old laptop that can run nothing other than MS-DOS and has a Pentium I processer (my brother managed to get DSL working on that laptop before).

16x is way to fast,your probaly loosing parts. A iso image has to be burned at a slow speed to make sure you get all the parts. I never burn any iso faster than 8x.
