One place to start is to compare the md5sum's of the original iso on the ftp site with the one you have downloaded to your machine, and then compare that to the cd you just burnt. I have had troubles with the cd burn gui's so I just use the commandline. cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc path_to_file.iso /dev/hdc is the path to my burner replace with what ever path yours is. Theres options for speed= and -v verbose mode, etc. read manpage for cdrecord if interested. Mike
