Comments/Problems:
The iso file was downloaded twice, once June 10, once again about 2000
UTC June 11. Each time it was burned to CD-R. Neither CD-R would boot
of either of two computers. A previously burned Lenny version
(netinstall type) done around March 2008 will boot OK on both computers.
The computer indicates booting from CD (message line on screen), but
instead of starting up the install, it goes directly to grub menu (on
the latest CD's). Mounting the newer CD-R's on my working computer and
looking at their contents, they appear OK (directories, files appear OK).
Thanks!
