Sounds like you didn't burn the CD right. Make sure you burn the iso as a CD image, not simply copy it over as data.

When you boot from the DSL CD you will eventually come to a graphic desktop. Right click on the desktop to get menus. There is a tools menu under applications that gives you install options.

the farrest i came is the X desktop. (i could even move my mouse for an inch (very, very laggy!) and then my laptop died. when booting i got this cloop error again (alot of them) so i tried the boot parameter "install" this seemed to work. dsl installed the files to my hd. while doing that i got that cloop error and other errors about missing files again. so my opinion is: something wrong with my cd-drive, cause every cd i burn gives the same error (all about missing or corrupt files) so i am gonna make a usb boot stick and try it again (later this day)
