Later in this thread, you said you managed to successfully install via FTP, even though installing from CD failed. If by some chance both you and Chris are fighting the same problem, and the same solution works for both of you, we then have two possibities: 1.) There's something wrong with the CD-ROM media. 2.) There's something strange about your CD-ROM drive. A few years ago we did have an install media problem with a release, but before we blindly blame the media, it would be best to test the CD again with another machine. Scratches, fingerprints and other problems caused by poor handling of the disc could be to blame. Another possibility is a problematic CD-ROM drive, or a problem between the CD-ROM drive and chipset/driver. Could both you and Chris post a dmesg, and provide details about your CD-ROM drive? -- J.C. Roberts
