The original problem showed up when I tried to burn discs for phoebe1. They failed
to work o my laptop. After talking with people on our local columbus LUG. Someon
mentioned that it might be a bad burner.
Then I tried the phoebe1 discs to install onto my desktop. They left me without a
GUI upon completion. These discs checked out alright on the desktop,
Someone on the colug list mentioned that there should be a new phoebe version
coming out and referenced the phoebe-list. That is when I joined the phoebe-list.
Other CDRs failed for me with RH8, I burned discs for SuSE demo, Mandrake and a
few audio discs. These were burned at 2 x speed and a few at 4 x speed..
At that time, I was believing that the problem might be with my laptop cdreader.
Only later, after hearing about the problems that others were having with disc
burning did I think about trying the OS that burned my last usable discs for the
laptop. It was RH7.3.

2 times and 4 times speed. My burner is an acer model. I haven't upgraded the
firmware or anything yet.
