It's always advisable to burn an install CD at lower than maximum speed, since it's less prone to errors. Most drives/drivers can correct a lot of read errors, which is probably how you succeeded the second time, but burning at a lower speed gives it an opportunity to ensure that every bit is written properly. These days I just keep a USB thumbdrive around for doing installs. With the liveusb-creator, any livecd can be turned into a liveusb for installation, and it doesn't suffer the same issues as a CD install (and it can be a lot faster too) - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
