I have the same book and I have found that I get better results using Toast 5.3 for burning a disc image--without mounting it--than using disk utility. I have also found that some download managers report a complete download when in fact the download is several hundred kilobytes shy of a full download--earlier versions of SpeedDown load seemed to be worst. And finally, do not burn the disk at any speed greater than 8x. I consistently get good results using these methods, and I constantly download and burn various distros on my TiBook. Good luck! -- Steven Didier
