If the downloaded iso's md5 checksum matches, and the install program's 'verify media' function shows the disc is OK, why would I see these problems?
And I've been a little surprised that I haven't seen any other mention of these problems online - has anyone else seen this?
I had this problem installing it on an old laptop. It appears that some old DVD-ROM drives have problems reading recorded media (+R or -R, depends). And for some reason YaST reports that a file is missing. I ended up by booting only from this DVD and performing a network install from a shared directory (NFS) on my desktop, where I have mounted the iso.

Please try by reburning using the SLOWEST burn speed, this should fix the read problem in most instances when using Nero, Deepburner, etc in windows (note the small w). Especially with the older cdrom and dvdrom drives. Part of the problem seems to be the depth of the burn and the reading device needing a greater "reflection" than is given with faster burns. regards scsijon
