RE: "Bad" File

 >> You will download an .iso file.

Thanks for the walk-thru Mike. But the problem is that that link leads to a
page with a download button - but that just leads to a bunch of download
sites, and they just show a list of files and folders!  I guess it is there
somewhere and one is supposed to just understand it all by Osmosis.  Seems
to me that this is still one of the major barriers to Linux acceptance on
the desktop.  I'm reasonably PC literate and I haven't a clue what to do!

I know how to burn from an ISO image.  I know how to boot from CD.  It's
apparently only navigating Linux sites I have problems with <grin>

Thanks to Tom J I now have a direct link to an ISO image - but over my DSL
connection it is telling me that it will take 15 hours!  So I may have to
give up.

Thanks to all for their help.
