Your failure > I click ok then get ......"Unable to transfer the bin > distribution from acd0c." occured when I tried to boot 4.2 from my CD-ROM (Hitachi CDR-8130; old 16x), everytime in different binīs, docīs etc. and ALWAYS. Near to a heart-attack, I downloaded the .ISO four times, the normal dist-files, checked the distribution (Yes, it took me approximately 2,5 hours to detect that ckdist.exe under DOS could not find a file named xyz.mtree because the DOS-name is xyz~1.mtr), tried different media (recordable, rewritable, 650MB, 700MB) ... always the same! But suddenly I forgot to change the burnt CD and booted from my Philips 2x2x6x burner: NO errors!!! Perhaps a) the CD-Rom is to fast (there is somewhere a hint not to use more then 24x), b) the burnt CD is not readable outside the burner, c) Bill Gatesī revenge.
