Hi Jose, OK. I will follow your advice to burn the CDs at 2x and will inform you the outcome of installation later.
I got 3 sets of ISO Images in my hard disc, some of them with matched MD5 sum and other with un-matched ones. I will test all of them again by burning CDs at 2x. Hopefully I can come up with some result. I will post the same to the list at completion so that other guys can get some information avoiding going the painful way as I did. But one thing I could not understand why I got no problem with Mandrake 7.2 before but lot of problem with 8.0 and 8.1. B.R.
