Re: Alternate CD iso for v4.07 Ubuntu corrupt

My laptop is a P3 with only 256Mb RAM so it can't handle the install
from the normal graphical CD. I downloaded the Alternate text-based CD
iso (Ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso) and did an MD5sum verification
using the WinMd5Sum software. The CD checked out ok on the MD5Sum hash
taken from the Ubuntu site. On installation however, a number of files
on the CD turned out to be corrupt starting with the image2 file. The
installation could not proceed as a result. I downloaded the CD from
another computer and burnt several copies from the iso but all with the
same result.



Is the alternate file available from the Ubuntu download page
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-newest&arch=
i386&mirror=&debug=%5B%27country_US%27%2C+%27country_UK%27%2C+%27contine
nt_NA%27%5D&download-button=&alternatecd=alternate corrupt?? Has anyone
else had this problem?

I have used the alternate iso recently and it worked ok.

Try using the self check from the CD boot menu - Check CD or similar
option. It is slow, but it will indicate how the actual CD is working
in the actual drive you intend to use.

I think some burns are harder (stronger) than others, and some readers
are less sensitive than others.

Maybe try to burn quite slowly.
