Ok, I got that.... But when I burned it on a CD, I can run it on win (Win
2000), and the autorun works too, but when I try to boot it, it doesent
works...
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Peter

I have found the same thing. I think there must be something wrong with that
file. I ended up buying the $14.95 standaed version from there web site.

I don't know if this helps but I downloaded the uncompressed version (*.iso)
and burnt it to a CD and it worked OK. Download is a bit bigger obviously.

I couldn't get the autorun to work though. I solved this by creating a boot
disk in Windows using the Corel Linux CD I had just created, then rebooted
with this floppy. Installation went best by only having Windows on some of
the drive (run FDisk to Partition then reload windows if neceesary) then
chose the option "Use remaing Disk Space" for the Linux installation. It
sorted out all the partitions and so on.

I just renamed the file to *.iso (removed the .b) and then burned it onto the
CD whereupon it worked fine.

Is there any chance I can get this file now 16 years later?
