solved -just a bogus download

[sgx]

Hi, burned the Mint 9 Gnome iso last night, and it drops, and booting from it
leads into a prompt label 'boot', after listing these two lines

Unknown keyword in config file

Could not find kernel image

I burned one in CD in K3b, another in Nero, the sizes and files match.
Same result. Also burned the iso to a dvd, which refused to
boot on various computers, same contents as the CD.

Also, the file mint4win.exe refuses to run, the error is

cannot unpack E:\mint4win.exe.

its size is 1,401,680 bytes.
Any hints?
Cheers

Check the md5sum of the ISO to make sure it matches the one on the website.
If it matches, reburn at a low speed.

Will do. An earlier successful download lulled me into complacency.
The checksum indeed did not match.
Cheers
