Derek,
I got it to work. I was using an old PC with athena and then
copying the iso from the locker to an NFS volume on a machine
with a CD writer. Something was going wrong with the copy,
the from- and to- files were the same size, had the same
checksums, and had no errors reported, but had different MD5s.
Weird.
Thanks for your trouble,
Joe
