In nero there should be an option such as "burn image". Also run an md5sum on the iso to make sure it is error free.

OK, sorry about that. My website got shut down there (on a freehost!). I fixed the link above and the new website is http://zjd.zj.funpic.org/cool/dsllinuxwelcome.html .

If you want to install linux, go there. Pretty easy, just a little command lining!

Thanks, and sorry for the problem!

hduser and everybody,

The tutorial by ajd344 on hard-drive installation is back--see the posting above again.

If you're using Windows to make a CD from an .iso file, the easiest way is to use ISO Recorder, which works on Win XP and 2003 (but not the earlier versions of Windows).

These links are about ISO recorder, and the second one also discusses Nero and other programs:

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm

If I understand correctly, you're burning individual .rar files to CD, then trying to boot the CD.  That won't work.  I have never done it myself, so check on it, but I understand that there is a procedure for assembling individual .rar files into one bigger .iso.  Then the .iso is burned to CD.

You should be able to download DSL as one .iso file even with a dialup connection.  You will want to use a download manager, like Download Express or even the one included in the Firefox browser.

From one Linux newbie to another, good luck!
