I have downloaded LMCE 0704 cd1 and cd2 and using Nero burned ISO's ... they refuse to load, I did compare the MD5 checksums and they match. I even reburned the ISO's using Burn4Free and still the same results ... wont load. I have downloaded many versions of Linux and burned ISO's and never had any problem with them loading. Even tried loading an older version of Linux just to validate the cdrom drive and it worked just fine. Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be wrong? Thanks in advance guys .

The CD Iso's are not bootable. You first must install Kubuntu 7.04 then reboot from the new Kubuntu 7.04 installation on your hard drive and then follow the instructions for installing CD1. CD2 is the Cache CD and is used later in the install. Installing the CD's is very slow so be prepared for a long wait! Alternatively download the Quick Install DVD iso - this is bootable ***but will overwrite everything on the drive you choose to apply it too*** |

I did a clean install of kubuntu downloaded on the site. it worked
I downloaded the cd's, burned them with K3b but they don't mount afterwards.
So I downloaded the Iso's again on an other site: same result. Burned them as wel on a windows system lying around here. same result. not able to mount.
Then I thought... ok lets try the dvd...
Downloaded the iso file checked the md5 burned it. No boot. Transferred it to an external disk an burned it with windows: same result.
Simply tried to load the iso file in deamon tools and in alcohol. Unmountable...
Where did I go wrong???
Now I'm sitting here with a clean install and not able to watch television or nothing... :s Spend the entire weekend downloading (meter says 21 Gb traffic in 2,5 days)

hehehe ok I maybe new to linux... but not new to computers all the way...  In K3b I used burn cd image and burn dvd image for the 2 different types on the windows system I used burn image file, select all file types, and selected the iso files I wanted to burn and deamon tools just doesn't want to load any of the iso files. (works perfectly with all the other iso files I have on my NAS and exernal drives |

Not sure what is causing your problem... but it definitely is not iso's as all have worked fine for us here. |

is there a possibility in linux to look inside an iso file and to manually install the packages?
or a program that I can use to mount the images localyso I can use the iso files off the cd's so I can install them like that...
and what type of iso file is it when it says its not an iso 9660?

As root: mount -t iso9660 -o loop path_to.iso /mnt/wherever The LMCE CD images are iso9660. BTW: Sounds like there may be something wrong with you burner? Have you tried to burn any other images lately? |

thanks for all the help guys ... turned out to be a case of RTFM although I guess I dont totally understand what an ISO is for. I thought ISO implied bootability .... guess not.
