0.4.11 works fine, but 05 doesn't get picked up as bootable, I've double checked the MD5 and it was fine, but nothing, it doesn't get pickied up at all ...

I look at the ISO and it doesn't look bootable.

Any ideas ?

check the md5sum value of the CD itself to see if the burn went ok.

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#rawread
device=$1

blocksize=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Logical block size is:" | cut -d " " -f 5`
if test "$blocksize" = ""; then
echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blocksize >&2
exit
fi

blockcount=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Volume size is:" | cut -d " " -f 4`
if test "$blockcount" = ""; then
echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blockcount >&2
exit
fi

command="dd if=$device bs=$blocksize count=$blockcount conv=notrunc,noerror"
echo "$command" >&2
$command

./rawread /dev/cdrom | md5sum

Did you download the corrupted version of 0.5 or did you see the note on the download page that points to the good version. Try here:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....one.iso
