For 0.9.1 it sounds like you picked up one of the broken versions of the ISO. A new image was posted yesterday, so if you downloaded before that, please try again. 0.9 didn't work on 715/75 anyway, but I would not have expected your particular error. I have never booted my 715/75 from CD; I've always booted it from the network. The README on the CD should explain (briefly) how to do that. Richard
