Thanks to everybody who responded (Ron, Pierre, Kevin, Tom, ...).
I should have mentioned that I do check the md5sum of the downloaded ISO
and I make sure it is correct before burning -- it is just that I never
get it to match after burning. Guess I'll try the DAO option in
Windows, and

Thanks for the response!

If I 'dd' the CD to an iso on the HDD, then I often get the correct
