I also suspect it is an OS problem, but, it seems to be very HW
dependent. After I read your post, I got the FC6 Install DVD and put
it into the DVD reader in my box. Zero problems. The same in my wife's
box. But, in my daughter's box, I have the same situation that you
described above. I suspect it is something about the DVD reader in
that box. However, when it was my box (and newer), it worked OK and I
believe it had CentOS 5 on it, before I let my daughter have it.

Thank you! Very glad to know that I am not the only person with this
problem! Lanny
