I just downloaded the ISO. With md5sum, iso is OK. I boot, it say Uncompressing vmlinuz....

crc error

- system halted.

What did i do wrong?

I downloaded Puppy 1.0.5

Sounds like either the CD is bad or you got a bad download.

i check the iso file with md5sum.exe, message is OK!
Burned the ISO without errors. Successfully burned!

I tested the CD with 3 computers, all displaying the same error!

Will I burn another CD?

Since you got a good download, the problem must be the burn. Since you are getting the same error on several computers, the problem must be the burn. Make another iso cd,
I bet it will work!

PS: Did the burner verify the burn. This may be an option that is not turned on?

Sh****t! Bad burn.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

the program above will not work with the Puppy 1.0.5 CD ... it will only work with the Puppy 1.0.5rc CD ... you asked:

the way you do it is the way i did it in that script
but that script will not work with your CD because it was written for a different CD ... 1.0.5rc

i uploaded a new program that does test Puppy 1.0.5 CD's (the first version with the option 2 bug, not the second version that will be uploaded, it won't work with that version) ... here

your problem is probably a bad burn, but it could be a hardware problem, like bad ram or not enough ram, or the cd drive may not work well with it's environment or the cd disc may not work well with that particular drive
