When you burn the CD make sure that you are creating the CD from the ISO
file as opposed to just storing the file you downloaded as a single data
file on CD (if you view the contents of the CD after you burn it, you should
see multple files instead of just one). Also, you might want to verify the
md5sum of the ISO file that you downloaded to ensure that it downloaded
correctly. If you need more help, let us know what program you're using to
burn.
