[olug] CD Boot problems and Network Installs Slow Speed

[Nate]

I am running an AMD 300 mhz with a Lite-On CD Burner That I'm trying to 
boot the disk from.  It boots a Red Hat
Psyche disk but it won't boot this Mandrake 9 iso.  The byte count is 
the same on the downloaded  file as the one on the mirror site so I 
figured it
downloaded ok.  

Thanks,
Nate
