Hey Fluff....
First thing when you get that message.... pop open your cd drive and clean the
disk! That's usually the cure.....
Also, when you reinstall, it is a good idea (if you are using an Apple-rommed
drive) to reformat and you'll prolly want to make sure to do it in HFS+. Seems to
work much better for OS 8.6.....
