I am using DSL on a CD with a custum bootloader(easyboot) because there are more bootable images on the cd.
i have copied the dsl-cd on my cd(boot,knoppix, lost&found). i run boot\isolinux\isolinux.bin from the boot loader.

but I get a error. isolinux:Image checksum error.

does it check how big the cd is somewhere.

or am I loading the wrong image

Thanks in advance

I'm a new user to linux and have no idea what I'm doing. i've down loaded the iso file but now what do I do with it?

You need a CD burning program that will burn an ISO image as a CD. Nero will do this and there is a free CD burning program or two out there that will do it too. You will find it in the menu as something like "Burn CD from ISO image". Don't just burn the ISO to a CD as data. The image size is 49MB, but if you do a full HD install it decompresses to over 200MB. Try just running it from the CD first though. Then maybe try the Frugal install method.
