If you have the opportunity to boot into some unixoid OS (i.e. Linux, BSD, ...) you might check the md5-checksum of your iPC DVD, by using
Quote:
m5sum /dev/<device-file>
where <device-file> is the one that belongs to your DVD drive. You can do the same with the ISO image you downloaded.
It should return a couple of numbers and letters, this should both match with the ones listet on the iPC website - since there are variosu PPF patches for iPC distro and I don't know which one you downloaded, you'll have to look up for it yourself.

With doing this you can ensure that you don't have a bad burned DVD or downloaded a corrupt ISO.
md5 checksum tool is avaible for Windows also, but Windows doesn't allow to check the DVD itself.
