	Marius: 
	It is possible (probable!) that some error has occurred while writing
the CD that is causing the problem.  You could try to copy the offending
files to see if they truly exist (this has happened to me and when I
drag an icon from the CD to the Desktop, I get an error and find that
the file length = 0 Bytes).
	One way around this, if you haven't erased the .iso files is to put
them somewhere close to the main directory of a partition, and do a Hard
disk install ("linux askmethod" at the boot prompt).  Otherwise I have
had good luck sometimes by burning CD at very low speed.  Possibly I
could buy better media?
