The CD-R's given to me were burned from downloaded ISO images.  The guy at
work claimed he used them already numerous times, so I'm sure the problem is
with my old 2x CD-ROM.

I'll definitely reinstall when the rewriteable gets here.  I just think, as
I stated in my original note, that the install process is poorly designed.
The failures I encountered were in non-critical packages, so it should have
just said so and finished the installation.
