Did you buy the CDs or did you burn the ISOs? It could be a problem
reading files off the CD (or at least I think it could since I don't
know what the error codes mean either). If you have access to another
copy, it probably wouldn't hurt to give it a try. If you burned your
own CDs from the downloadable ISOs, then you need to burn the image
before mounting it or the checksum will be screwed up (or something
like that).
I'm pulling this information from an install incident that happened to
me a while ago so I'm not sure if it's relevant for the current times
and I certainly don't remember the error codes I got. Other than that,
the discs aren't scratched, are they? :l
I burned the CDs from the ISOs off YDL's FTP; I tried burning Disc 2 (the one that stalls) a second again, but the same thing happens.
I don't quite understand what you mean by "burning the image before mounting".
Thanks...
