Good! > i'm a long time freebsd/linux command line guy, but new to burning CDs and > not used to doing things with a GUI (except running terminals in > x-windows). i've got a CD burner on a spare box running ubuntu. ls -l <the iso file> write down the length (my copy of ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso is 732336128) divide by 2048 to get a number of blocks (should divide evenly) If you did the burn with cdrecord, it probably printed the number of blocks, and you can skip the previous part. dd -ibs=2048 -count=<number of blocks> -if=/dev/cdrom | md5sum That should get you a valid md5sum for the disk. If the sum is OK, I'm afraid I don't know what to recommend next. If fails on two _different_ PCs, with differnet mobos, video, etc? BTW, if you have IRC access from one of your other boxes, try joining #emc on irc.freenode.net - there are multiple people there and someone might have some other ideas.
