Hi All,

I've done some work trying to figure out the problem with CD's that I'm having and I was wondering if anyone out there could please help me? When after I burn the CD's and try to install MDK the following happens:

The install process succesfully goes through CD 1. When I insert cd 2, and click ok it says that there was a problem with a certain package and asks if I would like to continue. It does this for all packages on CD 2 + 3.

In trying to diagnose the problem I have done the following: Burned the cd's using nero 6 + ez-cdcreator 6 to no avail. I have tried using different burners, and also redownloading the files. When I looked at the volume labels of the burned CD's I noticed that they were all
"10.0-Official-Do". I opened the files using ISOBuster and found that the ISO layout for the disc had a volume label of "10.0-Official-Download-2" while the Joliet layout had "10.0-Official-Do".

Since "10.0-Official-Download-2" is not a valid CD label (or at least I couldn't get the burning programs to accept it), I am wondering if the
problems I'm having are related to the fact that there is a problem with the volume names of the cd's within the ISO file? When I insert disc 2 and it sees a volume label of "10.0-Official-Do" I'm wondering if that is what is causing the installation problems that I am having because it believes I have the wrong disc?

Could someone (who has successfully installed MDK 10 official) please take a look at the volume label thier disc 2 + 3 and tell me what it is? Is there anything else that I can do or that i've done wrong? Thank you so much for
your time and assistance.

Don't know bout 10 but you can dl them at linuxiso.org, never had problems, they have a checksum so that you know you have bit for bit copy.

Don't think names should be problem, use alcohol 120% to burn iso's.

Hope this helps.

I do not think what you have seen is the
issue. Such differences are usually the
result of the .iso image being both
RockRidge and Joliet compliant [The CD's can
be used in either Linux or Windows]. You say
the first CD seems to work OK, but you get
errors on the 2nd and 3rd ...

I suggest you download md5sum.exe and check
that the .iso images you downloaded are not
corrupt. You run the md5sum program for
each .iso image, then compare the md5sum
number you get with the number reported on
the server you downloaded from. The results
should match exactly.

If the numbers do not match exactly, install
an ftp client for Windows [possibly SmartFTP
- what I uses to use in Windows before
switching to Linux]. FTP clients are better
at handling binary files than WEB browsers.

How did you burn those files? I hope you didn't use ISObuster or whatever to extract the files and then create the CDs yourself....if you are using nero you need to go to the file menu and choose to burn image, point it at the .iso file and away you go....no need to extract anything.
