I know the whole list was waiting to see who responded! ;-)

This was my own fault for not running the CD self error check.

Do yourself a favor and run the CD error check before installing.
I just threw out 2 CDs and 5 hours of headache.

Ubuntu Feisty is running fine on this MB, now.

Best to all of you,
Alex
