Maybe you need to clean the laser head on your CD-ROM
drive?
Have you tried to unpack the disks on another computer's
CD-ROM?
I've had two IDE CD-ROM drives fail during the past few
years.

Hi again,
I have done 3 installs since I last posted an e-mail to the list about my newbie package and network problems (Soyo Dragon Plus! motherboard) and I am totally down on SuSE. I have performed 3 variations of a "normal" install. One with default no office, KDE environment/All of KDE and Help Documentation. The second was a vanilla flavored default no office. The third was a vanilla flavored default with office. In all 3 cases, I was unable to produce a workable install. Two resulted in a kernel panic and the third, could not write LILO to the /mbr. All errors during install are different. kdegraphics and kdemultimedia are the one common denominator. In all three cases, there was a bad magic failure to unpack the archive message. Otherwise, no common denominator. I have checked my RAM and there is no problem there. I think I will go out and purchase Mandrake 8.1.
