Just graspings straws there but it's worth a try, eh? In my case the CD's were burned on 2 different drives as burning 6 CD's takes a long time with just 1 drive. One a thinkpad T40 shouldn't be that worn allready but could be. The other is a drive that's just a few months old. The (in my case) apparrently faulty CD was burned with the latter. The DVD was burned with an even newer double layer burner on yet another box. So that checks off the well worn drives......as well there are no problems with Mandy-one with any of the drives used as a burner. Methinks there's more afoot with the CD's (i.e. installer) than meets the eyes. Hope it doesn't backfire on Mandy with this world-wide install fest thingy. It would be typical of them not to have a listening ear on the lists directly after a club release and move head-on into disaster. My advise to the install festers: Go with the Mandy One CD's and show off how easy one can install packages from the net later. You'll need lpf packages anyway, as you can't send people home with a box that can't read encrypted DVD's. That really would be a show stopper for new adverts chasing 'em back to Winders. -- Good luck, HarM ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
