I assume "st8" means "straight". That means you are probably starting 
off wrong. My guess is that you have a Windows machine with a rewritable 
CD containing a filesystem already. That puts the .iso file on the CD as 
an ordinary file, not as a CD image.

When you try to boot the file, the system looks for a boot loader that 
it can't find. Normal behavior for a CD made incorrectly.

Download the ISO file to your hard disk and then burn it as an image, 
not as a file copy. Make sure the system is quiet, because burning the 
CD requires a fast stream of bytes (which is why you can't safely burn 
straight from a download session).

Hope this helps. Erik
