Yuri,

Two things to check:

1. Use md5sum (or md5sum.exe under Windows) to check the integrity of the
ISO for CD #3. It should be 5ad870e696953f4bbd0a91936873890e. If not, and
you know how to use rsync, use it to fix your ISO. Otherwise download a
another copy of the ISO and check its md5sum. This step MUST be right
before you burn another CD.

2. Perform a media check on CD #3 before you start your installation.

Actually there's one other thing to check: fingerprints and other dirt on
the CD. Use one of those alcohol-based lens cleaning cloths to remove
anything that shouldn't be on the data side of the CD.

Hope this helps...
