Edubuntu Installation freezes

[malkadhi at netscape.net]

 Hello
 
I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am facing with the installation of Edubuntu 6.06.1
 
1) I downloaded the iso package and burned a CD.
2) I booted from the CD on my target machine and selected "workstation" install.
3) The installation froze part way through the installation.
4) I tried to boot/install again and got the same result, but with the freeze happening at a different point.
5) I burned a new CD on media from a different company.
6) I tried again, and again the installation would freeze (but at a different point than the other two)
7) I checked the Internet and read that someone said "burning at a slower speed" worked for him.  I burned a third CD at 8X.
8) I installed a CD writer in the target machine and used "CD copy #2" from the "CD writer" rather than the previous "DVD reader".  It went a little further (up to package installation) but then froze.
9) I tried again, this time with CD#3 (slow burn) running on the CD writer, and again it froze, but at a new point in the installation.
10) I tried looking in the Internet for an "ftp installation" option for Edubuntu (like Mandrake Linux which I was previously able to install using the ftp install option) since I have broadband, but it appears that option is not available with Edubuntu/Ubuntu etc.
 
Questions:
1) What am I missing?  How can I get the install to complete?
2) If the installation freezes, is there any option to allow a "continue install" after I reboot?
3) Is "ftp install" available for Edubuntu?
 
Thanks
Mishaal
