What did you do to create the disks?  Did you use a Windows program, 
such as Nero or Roxio?  If you did, make sure that you select the create 
disk from image file, or the program will burn the .iso image file as a 
file on the disk.  If you used cdrecord, you have to select the 
appropriate parameters to create a disk from an image file, not to burn 
the .iso file to the disk as a file.  If you look at the burned disk, do 
you see a series of directories or just one file?

And please set your mailer to send plain text to the list, not HTML 
formatted mail.  Some mailers will not display HTML mail with the 
special formatting and is very hard (if not impossible) to read.
