A google search only seems to bring up transport related companies. I would suggest that whatever the problem is, it is likely not RSJ but either hardware or most likely the iso file itself. Try copying the iso to a fat32 partition (rather than burning to a DVD as a data file) and then running Nero. As to the Elive*.md5 I would suggest a search of hobbes or os2site dot com dot au (I have never had to use a md5 check). In windows you can use (I am not in os2 at the moment.) Personally, I would boot to windows and download the file again but use a good download agent like GetRight (www.getright dot com). Their trial version usually works ok for 30 days. There is an OS2/eCS download manager, I think it is called PMdownloader or some such. try the usual places or do a Google search.

If the ISO file is incomplete, that maybe the reason RSJ is freakin. What is Forlog ? Is this a different download program that you were able to D/L the ISO ok with ? >As I have burned CD's and DVD's from iso's before, I can't understand >why this is happening.

If the disk is still in the drive, a warn boot (on some BIOS's) will only do a partial check on the CD before attempting to boot from it, if a cold boot is done, the BIOS does a fuller check on the drive on startup and returns a "no disk" error on incomplete/non fixed CDR or DVDR media. One possibility, also depends on if you have, and use, a "fast boot" option in the BIOS screens.
