Segmentation Fault while transferring Packages = bad CD?

[John Eckman]

I have a YDL 2.2 CD purchased retail (Microcenter in Cambridge, MA).

I have successfully installed from this CD to my PowerMac 7500/G3.

However, I can only use the "base install" set of packages - if I try to 
use anything more (started with "everything," but "developer workstation" 
and "home/office" also fail) the installer crashes - segmentation fault, 
then it goes into halt mode, installer aborted abnormally, etc. Only option 
is to reboot the machine.

Two questions:

1. Could these segmentation faults be caused by a bad CD? I could download 
and burn the .iso to see if a new CD works.

2. Is there a way to go from base-install to developer workstation from the 
command line? Can one mount the CD and install rpms directly from there? (I 
was able to mount the CD-Rom from linux, but then ran into errors trying to 
run YUP and installing XFree86. Seems like YUP couldn't read the installed 
packages database or something.)

Thanks in advance

John
