Yoper install CD doesn't boot


I have this odd problem installing Yoper. I have burned one CD and 3 CD-RW's, and all of them refuse to boot in my CD player.

*My boot order is as follows:
- floppy
- CD
- hd0

*I have checked the md5sum and this is correct.
*Earlier, knoppix, windowsXP and Fedora Core 2 did boot.
*I tried using a (linux-based) boot floppy
*A few times Yoper booted using the floppy, but died with a 'isolinux: disk error...'
*I have WinXP and Fedora Core 2 installed.

Does anyone know how I can install Yoper?

Is it possible to install Yoper without the CD, or with another CD (net install?)?
*I read something (lost it) about installing from another Linux system, however I have no free space. So, is there a way I can resize my winXP partition without losing data?

I don't know what version you tried, but I had a similar problem when I downloaded the 2.0.0-9 version iso image file.
After creating the iso image CD, it would not boot on any of my machines.

I went back and downloaded the latest (at that time) Yoper version 2.1.0-4 and burned that iso image and it all worked fine.

Good luck.

Yeah, I found that re-downloading the CD image fixed that problem.
