The other possibility is that the iso file was burned to the CD as a file. I know there's some trick to getting images burned to CD in Windows. Try just reading the CD in Windows. If you see one file called <something-or-other>.iso, then the burn was doen incorrectly. If you see a bunch of files including READMEs, RPM-GPG-KEYs, etc., then the burn was good. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
