Yes, I've done it many times. If you get teh curses-style menu, then it
is telling you that it cannot really read the DVD. What type of DVD are
you using (DVD-R, DVD+RW, etc.)? What drive do you have?
I have a DVD drive that does something similar. It will boot, and start
the install, but when it starts reading packages it will fail. A
firmware update helped, but it still has problems sometimes reading a
DVD-R (and it won't even read a DVD-RW).
