This is where I was at.=20

I had reach the conclusion that either the ISO were bad or that I did not=

the correct procedure with just an equal probability of one or the other.

If the procedure is correct and since I have performed at least 10 CD bur=

to ascertain what the problem is.

As of this writing I have not checked sums for Md 9.1 but I did check the=

for Md 9.0 to be correct.

Note that when I downloaded the Md 9.0 ISO and attempted to burn them I h=

exactly the same problem using my desktop box and a modem because of that=

this time I utilized a commercial line I was able to connect to for an ho=

and my notebook. Unfortunately I received equal results.=20

Since it is fairly safe to assume that others are not having this problem=

there would be postings of such that implies that there is something wron=

Thanks all for the help.
