Venkatesh,

It sounds like you are not correctly burning the .iso images to cd
before installing them. How are you doing this?? You can't simply copy the
images to cd, you have to burn/expand the .iso to the cd. What software
are
you using to do this???

I appologize if this is too basic, but both the net install cd and cd1
of the 5 cd set should both boot without ANY problems if burned
correctly...
