Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to try what you suggest. I have had
plenty of install programs over the years with linux, but never this one
when all the CDs checked good on all checks.

I saw the dma problems discussed at length in the list. All the messages I
saw were relating to cds failing the mediacheck. Mine all pass mediacheck
and it installs all the programs off the first disk just fine.  It is only
the when it gets to the second disk that it chokes and won't go on.

Thanks again,

Steve
