I could see the files, but the burn didn't even take up the whole disk and when I started the burn, using Nero, it gave me a size error, or something like that. After re-downloading and re-burning, all is well. I don't know what happened the first time... I used a download mgr and did all 3 at once. This second time I downloaded each iso file separately.

ANYWAY - I'm up and running with Linux and typing this on Konqueror right now. Now I can start learning. For the time being I'm using a floppy to boot into Linux. I've got to study those custom bootloading instructions to get the correct menu up. Lilo doesn't like NTFS. I had to fdisk /mbr to again enable booting of Win2K.

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll be back.
