I'm trying to install FC2 Test 1 on a Digital PC 5400 (an old Pentium Pro box). Curiously, Knoppix boots on it fine, but it has failed to boot up FC1, Mandrake 9.2, and now FC2 from CD, saying
isolinux: Found something at drive=9F isolinux: Looks like it might be right, continuing... isolinux: image checksum error, sorry...
Boot failed: press a key to retry...
No problem, I say; I'll make a bootable floppy. I double check the README files, and then head to the images directory...but there are no .img files to be found there.
What should I do?

Sounds like a corrupt image, did you check the md5sums before you burnt them?

If you have linux already installed, put the isos on a hard disk, extract the kernel and initrd from disc 1 and use grub to boot it.

It's been a while, but... with the arrival of FC2 Test 3, I did just that, and it worked like the proverbial charm. Thanks.
