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.
