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.
Stephen Liu
