User Feedback :: 0.8.1

I just downloaded 0.8.1 the same way that I have for the last three. I checked the md5sum, and then burned the CD to the same material I used before, but it didn't boot. I checked the md5 again and burned another coaster. All of the directories are on the CD when I check for them in windows. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

Worked fine for me.

Hmm...
0.8.1 has been tested in pre-release versions since
the morning after the 0.8.0 release ....

Since then, I've had no issues on about 10 or so
different machines I've tested various installs on

I know that's NOT what you wanted to read ..

How are you "burning" them ?
When it didn't boot, did you see an error message ?
Did it just lockup, or did it continue to boot another OS ?

If you both say it's fine, it's fine. It must be me and I'll try downloading it again.

I checked the md5 with md5sum in dos. I looked at the whole sum and it matched. I burned to CD with Adaptec Easy CD Creater 4, the same way I always do with my fresh DSL downloads.

My system booted to Windows ME rather than DSL. DSL 0.8.0 still boots fine.

Well, I'd be suspicious if I were you ... very suspicious ...
I wouldn't take our word for it...
Try burning the old 0.8.0 with the same stuff..
See if that works..
Maybe changes have been made to your cd creator setup.
( are you burning multi-session ? )
( Did you install any 3rd party stuff, like udf drivers, etc? )

Boot up the good DSL 0.8.0 ,
and use cdrecord to burn a new cd from the verified .iso ..

Don't just blow it off, keep us informed of your progress.
You may have found a bug unique to your Hardware.
