Dear Colleagues -- Having downloaded and unpacked
"texlive2008-20080822.iso.lzma", unmangled it
using 7-zip, burnt a DVD from the resulting ISO,
compared the DVD contents (twice) with the ISO,
and started an install, I have hit an error :

> Installing: mftinc
> Installing: mftoeps

Have you any thoughts/suggestions ?
