Talking Odd Problem


During the installation of Slackware v10.2 I'm having a weird problem...

As usual I downloaded the iso's off of Slackware's site, never before having a problem. I burned them on a cd, in the boot disk form. Doing this before I expected to restart to an installation screen.

I was wrong, for some reason I'm getting a DR-DOS feature. I looked into it further and discovered what DR-DOS is... but I've burned the iso 3 times, and redownloaded it twice, I get the same problem. I get this problem on more than one computer.

Anybody know why this is hapenning, is the problem the user o.O or the Iso's???

I'd appreciate some guidance

Brad

Welcome to LQ!

Are you running the MD5SUM check on the ISO prior to burning, and when you are burning, are you burning it as ISO image file?

Problem Solved:

Nero must have been screwing it up somehow, because as soon as I tried other software I got a clean installation screen.

I think it was the option I chose to burn it... I burned it as a boot disc which seemed alright at the time, guess I shouldn't have.

Maybe this post should have been in the newbie forum. lol
