I have tried both ways, so I have both examples you pose. I have fours CDs that have a single .ISO file, and I have four where I used WinImage to unpack the ISO files into multiple files that are then burned on the CD's. I thought unpacking the ISO images would create bootable CD's that I could use to install over the existing OS (win98). -----Original Message----- From: Matt Morgan [mailto:matt.morgan-fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 11:00 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: unable to install On 06/18/2004 11:22 AM, Andrew Reilly wrote: > I have checked the MD5 Checksums, yet I still can't install off the > CD's that I have burned.

WHAT > IS THE ISSUE?!!!!!!!! > One common problem among people who haven't done this before is that you may be burning the ISO onto the CD as a file, rather than an image. Forgive me if this is not the case, it's not clear from your message. When burning an ISO image, you normally have to select a special command to transfer the image, rather than just copy the file onto the CD. When you put those CD's into CD-rom drive on a working computer, what do you see? Do you see a single file named *.iso? Or do you see a whole bunch of files and directories? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
