I think the business-card image contains the full installer, while the mini.iso will have to download some parts of it over the network.

Try InfraRecord http://infrarecorder.org/ Last few days I burned wit him 2 .iso and everything was OK. When you download any .iso first check md5sum to see is it downloaded correctly, then burn it like image on lowest speed. -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Even smaller than netinst, is the businesscard CD image. It is under 50MB long. It also is worth saving because it will continue to download and install the most recent version even after future updates of Squeeze make the current version of netinst obsolete.

Once you downloaded the ISO file, did you check the md5sum? From what OS and what burning program? Burn failed is a very generic message, but seems to come from the burning app. Any suggestions?
