There is also the possibility that your computer is not set to try a cdrom boot before going to harddrive:
During boot up, press the key necessary to get into setup (Del, Esc, F2, etc....it may tell you onscreen what key to press).  Seach for 'boot sequence' or similiar, and modify it so that cdrom is listed before harddrive.

These are the files that you need.  The .txt file contains the proper check sum.

dsl-1.2.1.iso
dsl-1.2.1.iso.md5.txt

They are found in the "current" directory of the links that I provided for you.

Then with your burner software you burn the .iso as "disk at once" or (DAO)...you dont want to burn the file [dsl-1.2.1.iso] as a file..otherwise you will have a non-bootable cd with an unreadable cd image on it...

The .iso is a "bit-4-bit" copy of the CD, kinda like making an sillyputty imprint of a record, then digitizing that sillyputty imprint

If that helped at all
