Can you check the md5sum of your existing .iso file? Or did you delete it? On a different machine? Also, if possible, burn another CD, this time on slowest speed, to hopefully avoid errors. > How does a manual installation work? > Use a linux live CD and copy a few files on the hard disk? I'm fairly certain that Linux partitions tools (e.g. GParted) can create FAT partitions. But it won't be bootable without a boot sector, which usually needs to be created by SYS.COM, usually from DOS itself. Although Eric Auer did have a Linux version (using Perl?): http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/specials/sys-freedos-linux.zip If you have a floppy drive (or can use a USB one), you can use any old boot disk to fdisk, format, and sys. That's minimal. Then, after that, yes you can just copy files as needed. > Yes, it's real hardware. It's an old Fujitsu Siemens Desktop with 500MB > RAM.
