Heinrich,
Thank you for the reply, but that is precisely what I am doing.
Attempting to write the CD from the downloaded ISO file. EZ CDCreator is
recommended on the Debian site if one is using Windows to write the CD's in
question. I have tried 3 or 4 different (Nero, CDRWin, Fireburner, Hotburn,
etc) CD recording programs with no luck from any. This is why I wrote to
the Users List asking for some help. I have burned Mandrake CD's,
Slackware and others with no problem. I have downloaded ISO's from various
mirrors to see if the chksums are different. But I find they are the same,
so I assumed it was I who was doing something wrong.
I mentioned the two recording formats because of those options to
choose from. After one option did not work I tried the other with no luck
from either. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with my
burner.
Thanks for your help.
Jack H

Hi Jack,
since you are talking about CD-formats (iso9660,joliet), my first guess
would be that you had your cd burning software create a new cd image
containing the donloaded image as its only file. This is wrong! Try to
pursuade the program to _not_ create an image, but burn your downloaded
image _as is_ to the CD.
HTH,
Heinrich

from the CD icon as the OS that is recorded on the cd, but they will not
boot to the cd. Yes, I have the CD-ROM as my first boot device in BIOS.
