I believe the central aspect of my problem isn't at all the downloaded files, unless, I should've downloaded them as "iso documents" rather than as "all files". Also, what kind of image should these be burned as from Nero? Particularly, the first disc, should it be specifically an "iso boot disc" then what? A "logical disc partition? A discette image"? I think this is the heart of my problem, the discs seem OK as I can see the files as "all" but the first one won't boot, although the boot images do, but they say, Linux 2.6 something. Nick
