Hi Ray,Ray wrote:I have downloaded the latest Lighthouse Mariner iso, checksums match ok, burnt the iso to cd and tried to run on one of my spare computers, amd 64 Athlon 5600, 2gb ram. The boot starts and then the following message:
Loading isolinux Disk Error 80, ax=42E0, Drive 9F
Any suggestions as to how to make this work.

First, try burning with a Data CD-R, 700 MB / 80 min.; not a DVD and not an audio CD.
If you're in Linux, mount the CD on the computer that failed to boot and run click-to-verify-mariner right off the CD. It will take several minutes and if it gives any errors, then either the burn failed or your drive is unable to read the disc.
Try booting with the same CD on another computer. If that works, you may need to burn the disc at a slower speed, on the same computer you want to boot it with. In Puppy Linux go to: Menu > Multimedia > CD > Burniso2cd, (or Pburn.)
If you're in Windows, browse the CD in Explorer and verify that it has 17 files and open the file logo.png. It should display a dark blue image with a Lighthouse and LINUX in big letters. If the above doesn't match, re-burn the ISO, making sure to use the burn ISO image function, (burning the .iso file to a data layout won't work.) With Nero, go to "File" menu and select "Recorder > Burn Image (or use www.freeisoburner.com)
If you've already done the burn correctly, sometimes burning again with new blank CD-R at a slower speed will help.
Enter safe at the boot menu. That should get you to a command line, then type xorgwizard. If you're not getting to the boot menu, try another bootable CD-R such as an official Puppy CD to verify the drive is able to boot.
Hope that helps,
