Ok, I think you _may_ be making a mistake with _how_ you
are writing the iso to CD (Ok, I am assuming things here so
don't get mad at me if you already tried this...)
To get the ISO's onto CD you have to tell the software to
"create CD from ISO image." If you just tell it to make the cd
and point to the data file, it will just write it as a data file on a
(windoze system) Joliet format disk... (which is what I think
happend to you...)
I Personally Use Adaptec EZ CD Creator but I have used EZ
CD Pro
In Creator you have to either Double click on the ISO image
file (assuming it shows up with the Creator icon in Windoze)
and it will start you right into pressing it _OR_ you have to go:
FILE - CREATE CD FROM ISO IMAGE it then puts you at the
dialog for starting the burn....
Just look for that type of "option" in your authoring software
and it _should_ work.
I had a different problem where 4 copies of binary-i386.raw
all had a different md5sum than what's posted... (ALL 4 had
the _same_ md5sum though....)
Hope that helps...
