An even simpler, and more common problem is this: first, did you do an md5sum on the iso's you downloaded and then compare them to what is listed in the MD5SUM file on the ftp site? that way you can ensure that you got complete, full downloads with no errors.
Second, are they bad disks? the first binary cd should be bootable from CDROM. Can you not boot straight from CDROM? Have you tried putting the first install CD into a different machine and see if you can boot the installer on that one? If you can, then it may be something else. if you can not boot the installer from your CDs on a different machine, then you definitely have bad CDs. ciao Jeff On Tue, 20 Nov 2001, Brig C.
