Thanks for the confirmation Josh and also Dave. I settled with
re-installing FC5T2 on the computer which installs FC5T2 fine. The
computers I am trying to install on are pretty small single board
computers and stringing an IDE cable to an internal DVD recorder/player
is highly impractical. It is good knowledge that using an internal DVD
reader/recorder works. This pretty much narrows down the problem to USB
DVD-RW drives.
I could not believe that using the USB drive checked the media
successfully but bombed shortly into th installation.
