i recently downloaded DSL and i burned the iso with toast titanium exactly how it should and then on boot i went into the BIOS of my ibm thinkpad t21 and put it to start from the cd rom but it just runs xp instead. i dont know what im doing wrong. i know i burned the iso right and im 90% sure im doing the bios right because i have booted PHLAK like that before (another linux distro). Please help!!! im anxious to get this working because it looks so DAMN cool!

I've tried to boot off of DSL 0.8 and I'm getting the following message on a laptop I've never had a problem booting DSL:

ISOLINUX 2.04 (Debian, 2003-06-06) isolinux:  Image checksum error, sorry...

Boot failed:  press a key to retry...


Laptop is an old IBM 380D with 48 MB RAM, 2 GB HD.
