I wish I'd known this yesterday.  I forgot to burn my CDRWs as images
and ended up with an ISO file on each CDRW and had to do it again.  I
was going to try to make them (the ISOs on the cdrws) work, but I didn't
want to get half way through an install and find there was a glitch. 

I can hardly wait to do my next Linux installation !  I'll be using the
USB hard drive method.
