My tip would not give you insight into the problem but here is the safe (and tested) way to burn a bootable iso. Go to the directory with the iso image and run the following command. # cdrecord -v -v dev=/dev/cdrw <filename.iso> You might have to add a "sudo" in front (i.e., $ sudo cdrecord ...) Hope this helps, Sharad PS: to be more clear in the future, what you faced were not errors in the beginning but options. An error typically doesn't let you proceed beyond the point (something goes wrong). Nothing went wrong here. You should have tried choosing not to rename files for windows the second time. The old FAT filesystem did not allow filenames to be longer than 8+3 characters. That means, IF the linux on the cd looks for a file like vmlinux-2.6.31 , it wouldn't be able to find it since it would be renamed to __may be__ something like vmlinu~1.31 . -- LUG@IITD - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
