I have just intalled my test distro on a completely different partition and haven't worried too much about having my home directory there. This sounds interesting to try though... > 3.

I had this same problem once. I finally realized it was because of my second hard drive that I had snagged from some really old machine. It was just too dang slow of a hard drive, no matter how slow I burned the CDs. Once I made sure I only burned data from the newer hard drive the problem went away. Don't know if this is your problem.
