I don't know how to check the MD5 sum on the Burned CD without mounting it under linux...Something that FC2 isn't letting me do. Under windows, I cant check a folder and it's subfolders with WinMD5Sum. Thanks, Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."

Let's review the basics: 1.) You ran md5sum check. Did you check both the original iso image and the media you created from those images? If you don't get to the language and keyboard selection screens, what error, precisely, are you getting? It sounds like Speakup is starting and you have output. If that is correct, where exactly do things go wrong. What is the last thing you hear, and nick G writes: > I do have a functioning FC2 which makes this even crazier.
