I tried Tom's suggestion and tried installing from the
CD-RW drive (which was used to burn the CD-R), and
still got the same error.
I'm reasonably confident that the ISO image I
downloaded was ok (I checked the md5sum). Is there
any tools on Windows that will allow me to verify that
the CD-R that I burnt is indeed ok (given the ISO
image)?
Thanks for any suggestions.
BTW thanks for the response, Tom.
