Re: Bad ISO file?

The size is 730,177,536 bytes (looking at the properties of the file) and in the md5sumer window it says somthing like 713,064.00 Kb.
I copyed the file to the /boot/knoppix.501 folder and at startup the exact schreen appears like with the previous ISO file. I'll take a photo of the schreen and post it.
There is no official e-mule distribution, so I have no idea what you got that way. I certainly wouldn't trust it.
I've downloaded a lot ofKnoppix ISOs by BitTorrent, and have talked many others through the downloads also. The only case I ever know of a bad ISO was when one person stopped BT as soon as it reached 100% rather than let the download really complete. BitTorrent has pretty extensive error correction built into the protocol. However, if you do have a bad ISO that is failing the md5 test, try this: restart BitTorrent with the same torrent file. It will examine all of the files it downloaded and get just the segments it needs to fix the file. You should have the good file in a matter of minutes. This is certainly a reason why the md5 test is important, even with BT.
I have no idea what you copied to a /boot/knoppix.501 folder. Or why you would have done anything with a bad iso. Or even what a /boot/knoppix.501 folder is. The steps you want to do are: Download a good ISO, verified with the md5 test. Let BT fix it if the ISO is bad. Then burn that ISO as an image to a CD. Boot that CD.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
