There is another possibility. Your drive may be of the kind that does read the
dvd media, but *does not* boot from it. The easiest way out of this situation
is to burn a rescue cd, start the installation, and then choose the option to
install from dvd. The installer will then ask you to put the F8 dvd in the
drive, and read it no problem, once it is already booted.

Best, :-)

I'll probably have to go this route.  It's a DVD+R iso burned using Roxio that I can read just fine if I boot into linux from some other CD.

Looking into this further, i may have to skip this altogether.  My laptop has a Broadcom 4311 wifi card and support seems half-baked at best....
