Re: Problems installing on AMD Athlon 64 system

[Dean Hamstead <dean@bong.com.au>]

i burn the isos on windows using nero. ive never had problems.
and ive burnt debian (various platforms), fedora (various),
red hat images once upon a time, turbolinux, gentoo, freebsd
openbsd etc....

winrar should be able to open the iso's in windows or use iso
buster. further pre-burn testing might including using daemontools
or vmware to mount the cd images (vmware allowing you to test
them for booting... although not amd64 i suppose. but it should
just boot the kernel and the kernel will then say. no sorry
64bit only).
