Use readcd (something like "readcd -c2scan dev=/dev/cdrom") for checking the CD. md5sums sadly just aren't enough. :((

I get two "hard read errors". They occur in the last 2 sectors of the disk (317059 and 317060).

I strongly recommend the use of USB pens instead of CD-Rs if possible, otherwise fall back to higher quality CDs which are known to work fine with your CD burner. That's what we as grml developers do as well. :)

I think another option (for me, at least) is btmgr. This box has a floppy drive on it. Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is that the bootable CD is not the infallible medium that I thought it was <grin>.

Thank you for the assistance, -- Chris
