I got the iso and burned it on several different media but I always get 
and error--something to do with isolinux. I just wonder if it is because 
of my old hardware Compaq workstation 790- dual P 3 xeon, ATI 9600xt AIW.

Has anyone had good luck booting this?

I haven't even been able to connect to the website again for the sha1sum.

Thanks,
