Frequently it's not so much the quality of the CDs per se, but the fact that Linux is often installed onto hand-me-down computers, which frequently have less than up to the minute CDROM drives. Older drives very frequently won't read writeable CDs properly. A throiugh clean of the lens sometimes helps, but not always. -- C. S.
