Hello,<br>
<br>
Try downloading the bootable image located at<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mirror.yandex.ru/altlinux/4.1/Desktop/4.1.1/iso/altlinux-4.1.1-desktop-i586-install-flash.img.gz">http://mirror.yandex.ru/altlinux/4.1/Desktop/4.1.1/iso/altlinux-4.1.1-desktop-i586-install-flash.img.gz</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/4.1/Desktop/4.1.1/iso/altlinux-4.1.1-desktop-i586-install-flash.img.gz">ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/4.1/Desktop/4.1.1/iso/altlinux-4.1.1-desktop-i586-install-flash.img.gz</a><br>
<br>
"Burn" it to flash with: dd
if=altlinux-4.1.0-desktop-i586-install-flash.img of=/dev/sdX<br>
<br>
Usually the flashdisk won't give you errors... or it will, if the files
have problems.<br>
<br>
Or make your own bootable usb stick with ALT Linux [any-version]<br>
Some small tips:<br>
- you need to use syslinux/loadlin/grub4dos to make the usb bootable<br>
- you need to have the following copied from the dvd:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>directory ALTLinux</li>
<li>directory Metadata</li>
<li>directory syslinux</li>
<li>the install image altinst (should be put in the root of the usb
disk)</li>
<li>eventually the live image and the rescue image</li>
</ul>

For info regarding <b>syslinux</b>:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://freesource.info/wiki/AltLinux/Sisyphus/admin/bootflash/InstallFlash">http://freesource.info/wiki/AltLinux/Sisyphus/admin/bootflash/InstallFlash</a><br>
It is in russian, but the lines covering what u need are commands.<br>
<br>
Info regarding <b>grub2dos</b>:<br>

Practically after using bootlace.com you have to copy grldr and create
menu.lst in the root of the partition (does not matter where you
install, MBR or partition, I use MBR)<br>
<br>
Example menu.lst for grub:<br>
<blockquote>color black/red yellow/red<br>
timeout 60<br>
default 0<br>
<br>
title Boot from Hard Drive<br>
rootnoverify (hd0,0)<br>
chainloader (hd0,0)+1<br>
<br>
title --------------------<br>
root<br>
<br>
title ALTLinux Desktop 4.1 Installation<br>
find --set-root /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz<br>
kernel /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz automatic=method:disk,uuid:743C-59D0
ramdisk_size=65536 stagename=altinst splash=silent showopts<br>
initrd /syslinux/alt/full.cz<br>
<br>
title ALTLinux Desktop 4.1 Rescue Mode<br>
find --set-root /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz<br>
kernel /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz lowmem
automatic=method:disk,uuid:743C-59D0 fastboot stagename=rescue showopts<br>
initrd /syslinux/alt/full.cz<br>
<br>
title ALTLinux Desktop 4.1 LIVE<br>
find --set-root /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz<br>
kernel /syslinux/alt/vmlinuz lowmem
automatic=method:disk,uuid:743C-59D0 fastboot stagename=live
splash=silent showopts<br>
initrd /syslinux/alt/full.cz<br>

Be sure to write your UUID correctly. Replace 743C-59D0 with your uuid.
You can find it out by:<br>
<br>
tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 (replace sda1 with your stick partition)<br>
blkid<br>
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/<br>
<br>
Hoping I helped,<br>

Well, I reburnt the CD just in case and double-checked ("Verify" in K3B
exited with a solemn trumpet sound :oD). And yes, MD5SUM was also OK.
<br>
<br>
I gave the install another spin... and had the exact same errors.
<br>
<br>
What's curious: CentOS 5, Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP install just fine
on the same machine, so there's no sign of a dying DVD reader either.
<br>
<br>
Which leaves me clueless.
