I got CDs 1-3 (bittorrent worked for me), md5sums checked o.k and then burnt them from the command line using cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -eject /home/(path snipped)/Mandrakelinux-10.0-Community-Powerpack-CD1.i586.iso
CD1 boots to "press enter to install etc" then gives a message "could not uncompress second stage ramdisk, may be a hardware error or kernel bug" After pause I get to the select keyboard, then accept licence, then partion, then to select packages to install.... now the error message "no kernel available" followed by a string of messages about /usr/bin/per;-install/pkgs.pm.185 and so on. At this point I can do nothing except power off. The problem appears to be caused when I burn the CDs, tried 4 times with different manufacturers (700mb) media, 2 CD-R & 2 CD-RW and get the output below. (I have d/l CD1 iso again and get the same result) output from cdrecord - BURN-Free is OFF. Performing OPC...

I see it says 615 of 693mb written but when I (in konqueror) go to /mnt, right click on cdrom and select properties it calculates it as 690.2mb -- http://www.poogle.co.uk
