I next tried downloading the ISO's again, and reburn them, figuring this could all be a problem in the user space (me!). Nope. After a second install with new ISO's on new CD's I hit the the same snag again. Bummer.

There are ways to verify the isos and, even, verify the burned CDs. It is better to do this than to guess that going through all the effort of downloading and burning will produce something better than the first time. Even though bittorrent is supposed to perform checks of the downloaded data, some people seemed to wind up with bad isos and the md5sums were published in various posts to the Club articles. It's imperative to know the download is verified good before anything else. Next, there is a bit of neat HOWTO on verifying the burned disk by Pierre Fortin on the wiki: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/BurningCDsFromISOs
