Aehmm, is that with the officially distributed DVD, or did you burn it
yourself.

The only thing you can do now is:
- make a directory on your harddisk
- copy everything from the DVD *DULY* noting which files could not be
  copied due to I/O errors
- tells us and I will send you the respective files
- put them in place of the missing ones
- install from there, or burn a new DVD.

Best wishes

Norbert

CORRIEARKLET (n.)
The moment at which two people approaching from opposite ends of a
long passageway, recognise each other and immediately pretend they
haven't. This is to avoid the ghastly embarrassment of having to
continue recognising each other the whole length of the corridor.
