Thanks guys for your import and the correct check sum..I've never had
this problem before...I usually use k3b to burn it...and that program
really....rocks...I love it.  But the problem is on the download side.
I'll try the FTP this time...I've downloaded this like...5 times...all
of them don't check out.  

Hey guys in your opinion does Xubuntu really work well on the older PCs?
It will not install on two older PCs if I use the Desktop CD...but with
the Alt. CD...I think it will work fine (if I can get it!) because even
the Kubuntu Alt. Cd worked well on an old Intel 810 chipset/Celeron
633Mhz with about 196MB or ram..Impressive..and that was
Kunbuntu.....which I really love over GNOME.

Thanks guys
Chris
