    I've been through this five times now and on two of the tries, I've done
    just that and had the install fail. However, this last batch of ISOs came
    from a site reported in this list as being a reliable mirror, so I'm going
    to try skipping the mediacheck again and see what happens. If that fails,
    I'll get Roxio out, turn on the write verification so I *KNOW* my CD is
    properly burned.

    If that fails, then I'll try using a different CDROM drive in my target
    machine. I seriously doubt that's the problem because I had Windows 2000
    Enterprise Server on this box and had no problems with the drive at all.
    But, one never knows, so I swap it out and see....

    Try skipping mediacheck, just for grins and giggles. There is a strong
    possibility it will successfully complete the install anyway.

    Tried that, no go.

    Yes. I'm booting from disk 1 and running "linux mediacheck" at the
    boot: prompt. I've also tried starting the install process which takes you
    into the mediacheck anyway.
