It may or may not have anything to do with your problem, but one time I 
downloaded a YDL ISO (when it was only one image) and mounted it (as in 
double click on the image file in the Finder and it will appear as a 
mounted disc) before I burned the image.  I learned later when I was 
having problems installing that when you do this, the image checksum 
can get screwed up somehow and I had to download the ISO again because 
it burned bad discs afterward.

Your situation just reminded be of this incident, though I don't 
remember the exact errors I got, so I thought I would just check and 
make sure you didn't do this.  To be a little more specific about the 
problem, I think the Mac OS software I used to mount the image changed 
some of the filenames to be short enough for Mac OS (32 characters, is 
it?...), so some of the files on the disc couldn't be found.

Good luck,
