[Inx] iso>cd will not boot

[Andre Mangan]

Please reply to the list (reply to all).

It appears that you did not burn the iso but rather "copied" the iso
file.  Easy to check - when you put the CD in, do the contents show
"casper" and "isolinux"?  If they do not, you have merely copied the iso
as an iso and will have to do it again.

md5sum check is described here:
