Hmm, just tried out the DVD at it gets to the exact same spot in the
install.  Strange.

I think I may have a clue in my http logs:

"GET /1/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /2/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /3/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /4/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
...
"GET /100/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /101/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /102/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -
"GET /103/.discinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 -

At least I now have something to google :)

Yeah, I'm sure you're right.  I just want to spare myself the pain of
burning them and installing from CD.

Thanks again for your help.
