During the process of installing RH 8.0 I was having some trouble getting
things installed on some of the older machines that I was testing on. It
seems that the CD-rom was unmounting itself during the install and other
problems related to the CD. Initially I thought it was the downloaded ISO
being corrupted....but a successful install on a newer machine told me
otherwise.
I decided to use a different CD medium to burn the image and low and behold
my problems went away.
The initial CD medium I burned to was a set of Office Depot CD-R's we had
lying around. This failed when used on some of my older machines (older
being 8x toshiba cd-rom drives)
The second CD medium was an Imation disk that we had gotten. These disks
had "1x-16x compatible" written on them. They seem to work just fine.
I am not exactly what the differences are, but thought I would share the
experience.
Mike
