Burning RH 7.3 CD's
 

I've downloaded the RH 7.3 release. I see where I'm cautioned about ISO file not being "burned" like most files. As I don't want to waste CD's is there something "special" I'm supposed to do?? Does it require a specific software package ?

In my first install I bought the boxed store version. Thought I would try the download this time.

Thanks,
Michael

What software are you using to burn with might help us out ? Usually just specify that your burning a iso image and it should burn alright.

I have several but the default is what came with the HP CD-RW. It's called CD writer powered by Veritas. I also have Nero 5.5 but seldom use it. I have not had any troubles with the default HP program.

In nero goto file > Burn Image

then from the window that pops-up choose your *.iso file, and click on OK. Then Burn.

Do the same for every one of the .iso's

The names of the buttons might be a little different, because I don't have NERO, and I am telling you the names from memory.

When you burn the ISO images on CD, make sure you use 700MB compact discs !

why 700MB ?? Al CDs are smaller that 650MB

Many people argument that fact, but the real fact is that burning the ISO images onto 700MB CDs stopped giving me installation problems -as reported by other users and forums.

(Something to do with extra space (5 - 10 x-bytes) needed at burning procedure [?]. I just know that it worked... after spending days downloading from different mirrors and from the slowest official site. I wasted more than 1/2 of a dozen 650MB CD-Rsss !
By the way, the checksums of each burnt CD passes the test with the two types of CD, but the one with smaller capacity will give you errors.)

Have a nice day

700MB CD's
 

I have burned a couple of 650MB CD's. I have not used them yet nor ran the check sums. Based on what you said I'll go check them and report what I find.
