I am finally up and running on the Lenovo Thinkpad T61 on KNOS 64 9RC.
I was successful with a Verbatim DVD-R.
I use a Dell Optiplex SX280 running Linux Mint 10 KDE and K3b to download and burn. That combination really did not like the Sony DVD-R. I finally found a couple of fresh Verbatim DVD-R in town.
My disk that had Windows XP died a few months ago. Any option for burning the KNOS ISO on OS/X 10.6?
It is great to see KNOS 9. It is looking really good!

I am finally up and running on the Lenovo Thinkpad T61 on KNOS 64 9RC. I was successful with a Verbatim DVD-R. I use a Dell Optiplex SX280 running Linux Mint 10 KDE and K3b to download and burn. That combination really did not like the Sony DVD-R. I finally found a couple of fresh Verbatim DVD-R in town. My disk that had Windows XP died a few months ago. Any option for burning the KNOS ISO on OS/X 10.6? It is great to see KNOS 9. It is looking really good! Thanks! A *lot* of work went into 9 ... I'm used to disc burning utilities that have an obvious, explicit command like "Burn ISO Image to CD." To make life even more confusing, OS X's Disk Utility does have a Burn command, but it becomes disabled when you click on the blank disc you'd like to use for the burn. The problem here is that most Mac disc utilities, including the built-in Disk Utility, take a different approach when it comes to image burning. Instead of telling the program you want to burn an image, then choosing the file, you're supposed to do the reverse: You choose the file, then tell the program you want to burn it. So, to burn an ISO image to disc, here's what to do: Insert a blank disc. Start Disk Utility. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions. That's it! Sure, it may seem simple enough, but when you've been using Linux and Windows utilities for years, these steps can be a little perplexing and hard to remember. |

Thanks for the tips on using OS X Disk Utility to burn the DVD! The Macbook worked with no hiccups to burn to the Sony DVD-R.
Yes, I agree going to OS X often gives me something to work through. Once I get into OS X mindset, it does just works.
I have now booted the Dell Optiplex SX280 on the KNOS9 rc32 DVD and building a USB stick. I have a Gateway AMD Sempron MX6422 laptop that I will try next.
