I All, I was attempting an install using SUSE 9.1 CD's burned at the last Installfest and found that neither CD1 nor CD2 would install on my system. I was told that hanging was a known problem if the CDs have been recorded at a high speed. I have seen this hanging a few times now and am wondering if others have had the same problems with burned CDs. This has happened with both 9.0 and 9.1.

While this is overkill for an IPCop box (and yes, it's getting hard to find anything less than a PII), it would be great for a server, ahem an email server. Sorry that was my shameless way of suggesting this is a great box to try a fresh distro install and then attending the qmail Workshop and getting that up and running. Thanks Peter!
