    linux 10.1 problem

    hey there,

    I've tried to install linux 10.1, from 5 burned iso images.
    the first 2 cd's worked correctly, but then it asked for cd 3,
    which should be somthing about 500 mb, but the cd 3 that I had
    was about 600 mb. indeed, when I inserted my cd 3, it told to be
    the wrong one. also when I tried the 4th, 5th and again the 1st, 2nd and 3rd:
    it was the wrong one...
    so I was forced to end my installation.

    maybe some one had the same problem, but I don't know what to do...

    Do you have multple CD/DVD drives? I've had this, where one drive accepted cd1 & cd2, but rejected my cd3, but the other (2nd) drive accepted my cd3.

    Also, I have read of cases where users burned cd1, cd2 (twice), cd4, cd5 and actually missed cd3! (ie got confused and burned cd2 twice, instead of cd2 once, and cd3 once).

    Also, are you confident all 5 x iso files passed the md5 checksum?

    thanks...
    I will trie an other cd drive...

    but I think my linux cd's are the good ones, because I downloaded two times a linux 10.1 and they are exactly simmular

    but what's that test?
    where can I find it?

    You can't know if the discs are good ones unless you perform a checksum on them. This tutorial can help you with that:
