I've downloaded the 12.2 iso and the md5sum.
Knowing that the old DVD burner shot craps, I bought a new one.
do in order: 1. download the iso 2. check the md5 of the iso file _before_ burning--if it does not match, do NOT burn disk (and see help link [1] below to repair the iso) 3. burn checked iso to disk at the slowest possible rate you can set using the highest quality media you can afford 4. boot from the newly burned install disk and use its built in test by selecting "Check Installation Media" from the menu of the first green screen during boot (see http://tinyurl.com/b856ekd) 5. if the disk fails the self-test, do NOT install from it.. lots more, lots better info available at [1] http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_help (which is the "Download Help" link on the download page) dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
