I not only tried different speeds, but different machines.  I work in a 
computer lab, so I tried two of the machines in the lab, as well as my 
laptop.  I did not vary the burn speeds on any one machine, so it wasn't 
completely scientific.  However, the burns of the first two discs turned 
out ok and they were done on my laptop with the same speed (16x) as the 
laptop-burned copy of disc 3.

To me, all of this adds up to this: something is wrong with disc 3 of the 
x86-64 iso.  I could be wrong.  Has anybody had a positive installation 
experience with disc 3 of the x86-64 (not i386) iso?  (If so, that blows 
my theory).

Oh, by the way, I am (at this very minute) installing from DVD, and (konck 
on wood) the installation seems to be going fine.

Thanks everybody for all of your input.
