I'm sorry, but this has been the way I've been
burning the CDs (with the exception of mounting
the images before burning). I followed the instructions
as close as I could, and I got the same results. Now,
I'm not sure here, but I burned my YDL 2.1 CD from
MacOS 9 using an older version of ToastTi. Maybe
I should give that a try again.
Thanks for your help though.
