Karl,

I did download the version I wanted (8.04.1) and burned the image to a 
CD. Same results.

If this is a common problem with the live CDs and DVDs, I have not 
seenone else reporting on it.

I may mount the ISO file to see what I can see. Is there anything I 
should be looking for in particular?

Jerry
