I've burned iso images to cd before, admitedly using different software, but I have done it.
I have downloaded damn small linux .iso images. One of which was: ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions...ent/current.iso
And I used magicISO (alongside some other programs) to burn it to a cd. It burned the cd and I tried to boot my laptop and my pc from it but it did not work. And I have no idea why. Can someone link me directly to the latest dsl.iso image? And does anyone here have a link to a good free program to burn .iso images to cd?
Because, well, I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work, except my inability to use software or the fact the .iso images are wrong.

You've cut that url a bit.. but I can guess the original looked right.

Take a look at the wiki for instructions for getting started with DSL.

Just a thought: did you set your computers' BIOS's to boot off the cd media?

Yes, I set both computer's bioses correctly.
I didnt realise it had cut the URL, but it really does not matter, I have tried it with 3 .iso images I believe, all from the sites listed on the dsl page, yet none of them had the correct checksum - I was unable to find one that did

I will check the wiki though nonetheless.

Uh oh, if you don't have the correct md5sum, that means your download was corrupt. In any case, (esp. if you have a flaky connection) I'd suggest you use a downloading tool that supports resuming, such as "wget -c <url>".

(Since you're using windows, I'm guessing you're using IE, which is very bad for downloading

)
