... just wondering: after downloading, did you run md5sums against the iso
images *before* burning the CD's?
... is there sufficcient room on the hd (*INCLUDING* space for temp files)?
(The readme on Disk 1 will give you the requirements for disk space).
When you boot with Disk 1 does it get as far as where you can select to
verify the media, and, if so, have you done this?

HTH...
