You can check the integrity of the download by comparing the md5 checksum. The command is md5sum filename. The md5sums of the downloads should be in the download-directories. And the cd > doesn't boot How did you burn the iso to CD? You have to burn the iso as iso (then it will be able to boot).

If you have done it 10 times then its easy, but the first time is often painfull (but it shouldn't necessarily be that way imo). Did you follow my brief instructions on http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/doc/html/en ? I try to give a working Howto, but of course there is much space for improvements. If you have any comments or suggestions on it I'll try to use it. > > I have also an other question Is there a procedure to load an iso file > directly on vmware or any other virtualiser. IF you have a bootable iso file you can use any virtualisation software to run it. I ran the isofile of sagelive in vmware, virtualbox and Qemu. VMplayer: In principle you have to say: create new VM. then choose that virtual CD is set to the isofile. Choose 512 MB Ram (instead of default 256) in VM settings. If you just want then harddisk settings don't matter. Then you can test the iso in the VM (thats what I do when creating iso files) However producing a well working virtual machine image like the official one is a bit tricky and more involved. I am currently trying to make such an image from my iso, but I won't finish it during christmas holidays. > > Thanks > > Cyrille > I will try to make a download from the given locations from the exe file and the iso in the evening (no time now - skiing with the kids), could you please send me your computer specs (OS version (XP, Vista, /-32 or 7-64, RAM).
