Mediacheck often fails on good CDs due to a won't-fix kernel bug. I don't usually have a problem, possibly because I finalize my disks, but if I did, I'd probably use Paul Howarth's isograb script <http://city-fan.org/tips/IsoImageFromMedia> . Though I do burn a DVD, for my actual install I use "linux askmethod" and install from a file on C:, a FAT32 partition. It's faster and less prone to disk errors. ;-) >> Since >> you got this far in the installation process your CD is good enough to >> allow you to perform a network install.

Yes, or from the same computer if you aren't reformatting the disk. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
