Actually it's not the k3b post burn checks - I then took the CD to the box to do the install and 
it failed on a specific file. I then restarted the process but choose the 'Check Cd' (or 
something like that) - the option beneath 'Install' (this is the alternate CD). Anyway, the self 
check got  about half way through a complained about a corrupted file - another coaster!

I shall wait until the weekend and try again.

Blessings,

Nigel
