I also suspect it is an OS problem, but, it seems to be very HW dependent. After I read your post, I got the FC6 Install DVD and put it into the DVD reader in my box. Zero problems. The same in my wife's box. But, in my daughter's box, I have the same situation that you described above. I suspect it is something about the DVD reader in that box. However, when it was my box (and newer), it worked OK and I believe it had CentOS 5 on it, before I let my daughter have it. > I will test in some other systems and let you know my results. Thank you! Very glad to know that I am not the only person with this problem! Lanny
