The installer keeps on crashing because of the same issue.  The following 
error is output every single time:

Is this a CD you burned yourself? Looks like it has errors.

Comment 2 mlorusso 2001-01-18 19:45:51 UTC
Yes we did burn it....I thought maybe that was the problem.  I'll try and burn 
a new disk.  Thanks!!!

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-01-19 16:31:30 UTC
Ok good luck.
