Hello, Has anyone experimented with grml in colinux? I would think that would be a great idea like grml2hd but in colinux colinux.org

Are you sure the ISO on your CD is *really* OK? Any chance to test it on another system to check whether it basically works at all?

Well, all of the MD5 digests were verified. I even did md5sum -c /mnt/cdrom/grml/md5sums and all files were OK. I tried it on another machine, and it wouldn't boot. So it seems that my disk must be defective, even though the contents of the filesystem are OK according to md5sum. I can think of several culprits. For one, I use cheap generic CD-R media. I'll try this process again, with some higher-quality disks.

Have a great day, -- Chris

Use readcd (something like "readcd -c2scan dev=/dev/cdrom") for checking the CD. md5sums sadly just aren't enough. :((

I strongly recommend the use of USB pens instead of CD-Rs if possible, otherwise fall back to higher quality CDs which are known to work fine with your CD burner. That's what we as grml developers do as well. :)
