I got as far through the install (mandrake 8.0) as Installing Packages... at this point it says 'Please wait, Looking for available packages', which stays on the screen for about 3-5 minutes, then up pops this messsage: 'An error occurred Nothin found while parsing /mnt/var/lib/urpml/hdlist.CD 1 Installation CD (x86)(cdrom1).cz' I click OK and it takes me back to the format partitions screen, which goes fine then I get to the same place again... endless loop. I tried installing using Expert rather than Recommended, and I manage to get through to the same point, at which I get the error (with a bit extra): 'An error occurred Nothin found while parsing /mnt/var/lib/urpml/hdlist.CD 1 Installation CD (x86)(cdrom1).cz at /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm line 453. (incleanup) setstep choose packages.' and clicking okay does the same thing - sends me back to the format partitions step, then onto this again and again... What do I do??? :)	Guest (0)

30199	2002-01-07 14:14:00	Ah, on second attempt I do get reaction from those keys: '<4>hdc:cdrom_decode_status:status=0x51{DriveRead y SeekComplete Error} <4>hdc:cdrom_decode_status:error=0x30' and somewhere else: 'warning: packdrake: bad toc_trailer in archive file /mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.CD 1 Installation CD (x86) (cdrom1).cz' that make sense to anybody?
