Possibly unrelated, but I put FC1 on my workstation here at home this
weekend. The first disc stalled after 4 packages. Having bought a
stack of Memorex Black CD-Rs that day and with the Yarrow isos on my
laptop win partition, I burned some new CDs and all was fine after
that. There are some really crappy CD blanks out there.
