I'm starting to really get curious why a few people have had problems
with the .iso. Especially in your case since your using the same
program I used to make the file.
I'm starting to wonder if the files on the two mirrors are okay.
The files on my site, I've had many people write back with questions
about the program, which means they have it installed and are using it,
so it must be okay.
I'm gonna suggest you download winimage. You can use it to extract the
files from the .iso and then put then in a directory, and then burn
the contents ( and directory structure ) to a cd. Thats if you can't
make it work the normal way.
