I think a number of people have also burned the ISO with Easy CD Creator under WinNT, so I guess anything is possible. :-) > Some new information: I just dialed in to my Linux box at school, and > mounted the ISO image as a loop device.

If you can't mount the CD in the recorder that burned it, then something is definately messed up. Try burning again -- I don't think RAW mode is exactly what you want. If at all possible, I would recommend you try a network installation instead. There have been many fixes made since the 2.4.0 kernel that shipped with 0.9.2 (hell, my 720/50 almost works! :-)). Anyway, good luck! Cheerio, Albert
