Yes of course.

    OK here is the whole story. I made and tested the cd-rom. It tested 
good. Reboot and when the cd-rom comes up I select English and then 
click on Install. This is very slow.

    Then a panel comes up and says there are 6 o7 steps to do and I do 
them an then a panel comes up and says loading software. Then it loads 
and sets up APT and then it gets a lot of things from the Internet at 
about 82% complete. Then it starts to go towards 100% and stops.

    Then it drops back to the Live-cd image after not doing a thing. But 
if I find the partition it made I find a complete hardy load but no 
/boot/grub/ installed. It IS consistant. It has done this every time.
