Hi John, I guess you downloaded one of the first 2 *.iso from this site.
http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html You have burn the iso into the DVD. Be sure to burn it, not copy the iso to the DVD. There a lot of free DVD software that can burn iso file to DVD. Google and download one, if you don't have any DVD software. When you successful to burn the iso file into DVD, you can see a lot of folder in it, not just one file. Put the DVD in the DVD-ROM (CD-ROM) and reboot the computer. Read Quick start in this page, if you have to install it in your drive. http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html Noli Noli On 3/13/12, john raskulinecz <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Micha, > Sorry for my vast ignorance in advance. i clicked on the link you provided > for the osg dvd and burned a copy to a dvd.
