Just fer grins, I d'loaded the iso and burned it, with k3b and it boots and runs fine so it looks like it is system dependent. I thought perhaps there might be iso file corruption during download er sump'n, but that doesn't appear to be the case.... at least not on this system.
yup, As far as the download and booting on most of the computers I've got here w/ no problems... including a couple of Asus Mobos... but I think they might be newer... (asus A7n266 )is on this box.. there is an older one whic doesn't have an easy way to tell what it is, but it's about 4 years old.. if that helps. It took forever to download the thing, even after I found a semi local mirror... So, do make certain you got everything. One version actually did try to make a bootable disk from an incomplete download... Which became obvious when the nubmers didn't match.. tho apparently the Key did .. restarted the download and got the rest... made my iso w/ k3b v. 0.10 and I've put it onto hardware everywhere I find a computer that the folks would allow me to... -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : Third Law of Advice: Simple advice is the best advice.
