If you have downloaded the ISO from Check Point, you better check the MD5 hash 
to verify the download was ok. And then if it is, you can just transfer the ISO 
to your machine and mount it locally like this:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/ISO/filename /mnt/cdrom

Then run 'patch add cd'

Besides removing the possible error on the physical cdrom its also much faster.
