I just burnt a copy of DSL and tried booting from it and I get a few errors:
Just after the "Creating directories and symlinks on ramdisk..." it says:
cloop: Read error at pos 48039622 in file /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX, 4009 bytes lost
cloop: error -3 uncompressing block 1783 65536/0/4009/0 48039622-48043631
cloop: Read error at pos 48012790 in file /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX, 15421 bytes lost
cloop: error -3 uncompressing block 1781 65536/0/15421/0 48012790-48028211
cp: reading `KNOPPIX': Input/Output error
Then it says "Done" and continues on normally (detecting everything, etc) then it says:
"Recovering nvi editor sessions... done."
"INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation at 0x0804e19a! sleeping for 30 seconds."
It then just keeps repeating this last step. The machine I'm trying to run it on is a Pentium II 350Mhz, 96MB RAM Is there something wrong with the CD I burned, is that computer not good enough or is it something else? Thanks.

DieselRanger, that sounds like a bad cd, what speed are you burning at?
I burn mine at no higher then 8x, most times at 2x.
At the size of DSL how long can it take.

I burnt it at 2x. Is there some way to tell if the CD is bad?
I can try burning it on another computer if I know that's the problem.

I have another computer to try it in too- DSL doesn't touch the hard drive when you use it, does it? (Unless you mount it, of course)

Try it in another box, DSL won't write to the drive unless you tell it to. If it's the same then it's a bad burn or a crappy cd, I've run into those lately buying cheap stuff.
I burn now to CDRW.
Did you check the md5 for the iso? It's on the site.

Check the md5 you may have a bum download

(Believe theres a free windows checker called md5summer if your not using linux.):cool:

Yeah, that was it. The md5 doesn't match. I downloaded again and checked it and it matches this time. As soon as I burn it again and try it, I'll post back to see if it worked. Thanks a lot.

I burnt the md5 matching download and DSL works great. Thanks for the help.
