All three burned cd's had errors: one had boot errors, the other two had long list of i/o scsi... errors.
Did you check the md5sum?
EDIT: Oops. Okay. Maybe you have bad CDs?Very strange. After two more unsuccessful attempts to download and burn 4.2.4 I finally got one to work. All I did was try new downloads and new blank cds but on the last burn attempt I changed the speed from 4 to 8 (don't think that mattered).
Now the new 4.2.4 cd works on my other computer (pII) which has 4.2.3 as frugal/lilo/toram but not on my main computer on which I downloaded and burned the cd.
My main computer has 3.4.9 as frugal/lilo/toram. Tried the new 4.2.4 as base norestore (the way 4.2.3 worked) but I get several screens full of error messages at boot.
Is it common to have that many bad cds?.No, it's not. Maybe your burner is going bad..I think the fault could be my cdrom. It reads 4.2.3 okay but not 4.2.4. Both burned on the same day. (seq 4.2.4 4.2.4 4.2.3 then 4.2.4) I have cdrom and cdrw on my main computer. The newly burned 4.2.4 disk works on my other computer which only has a cdrom.

Depends what brand, etc. I'll spare you the longer version of my adventure with cheap CDs I scored at a certain electronics discounter (28 of 100 were bad).
Try setting burn at 2. It's only 50M.Next Page...
