Hey all. I have been trying to install DSL. I downloaded the ISO and burnt it (Using my iMac G5).

I have got the installation on my (old) PC, working up to the point where it starts uncompressing files. I get HUNDREDS of messages flying on the screen saying - READ/WRITE ERROR CANNOT UNCOMPRESS DATA.

I am installing to a PC with 800MB HD, 500MHZ P2 Proc., 256MB RAM, 1 CD DRIVE.

It just won't install! Arrghh! Can anybody help me?

hi.

did you check the md5 sums before burning the image?
sounds like the data on the cd is damaged in some way.

greetings

What kind of installation are you trying to do?
