what's wrong with that if the question's important enough? the first
time i tried to install ubuntu i had a bad disk and the install failed
seemingly without any explanation. i assumed ubuntu just didn't like my
laptop and went with my next choice--suse. it wasn't until later that i
tried to install again and figured out the cd was bad.

also, what if someone is installing on their only system with a cd
writer? having the install fail is a MAJOR headache. i know from
experience.

one of the things i do like about ubuntu is that the install was very
simple. but some some questions you have to ask.
