Probably shouldn't have interrupted in the middle of that other thread but none the less I too have had a number boxes that would not install from the cd's unless I started out in safe mode. The very
same boxes worked fine from 6.4 up. Once the first cd was done/reboot all was ok (no safemode required). Just the initial boot/installing of cd 1 had problems.  A couple of them had had dvd's added
also. I had no problem with the dvd what so ever.
