YDL 3 won't boot from CD

[Rick Thomas]

As Dan pointed out in a previous message, this is usually caused by 
trying to boot from a 700 MB CD-R.  Go to the store and get some 
650 MB CD-Rs. Then reburn the ISOs.  That should fix it.  If it 
does, and you like the result, send in your money and buy a copy, 
to support the folks who did the work!
