[Mike Peterson]

Did you do an md5sum check on it also?

I have a windows GUI free hash checker program and a console and also free hash checker program I use.

  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

Drive in it.

I did a network install via HTTP and then the IDE Controller started acting
up.
I switched to a P III 450 and all is working fine.
I have Redhat 8.0 network install setup on 2 internet accessible servers.

If anyone is interested send me an email off list?

I did 10 network installs last night for a class and only 7 completed.
3 blue screened during the package gather step.
I did 3 test runs and the installs took 2-3 hours.
One test run was from a P4 Windows XP Apache Server and
Two test runs were from external and internal Redhat 8.0 Servers.

Last night with Redhat 8.0 and Apache 2.0 that comes with it deploying
Redhat 8.0 it took 4.5 hours for all to complete up to the restart step.

Has anyone worked with speeding up Apache 2.0 performance yet?

I had a similar problem with Redhat 8.0.  We had a machine that could boot
off of the cd-rom but couldn't boot off the 8.0 cd-roms.  Our machines
    
were
  
old Microns Pentium 166s to give you an idea of about where I think the
cut off is.

Mandrake 9.0 moved from using syslinux to isolinux.  Syslinux emulates a
2.88mb floppy at the front of the cd-rom, isolinux doesn't.

You'll have to cut the boot floppies and install with those.

Aaron

I was trying to install the CD's (iso"s) I downloaded for Mandrake 9.0.
      
 This Set of CD's don't seem to be Bootable.  Has anyone else
noticed this and is it fixable?

Thanks,
Nate
