A question which appears here at least 3 times a week.

a) Did you do the recommended md5sum check against the downloaded ISO
image files?
b) Did you burn the ISO images to CD as images and not single files? You
must be able to see the CD content as several files and folder
structures and not one big single file on each CD.
c) Did you check you BIOS to be sure booting from CD is enabled?
