Hi,

Camaleón.
The problem is that the installation doesn't even start. The machine
tries the boot order (CD, floppy, SCSI) & then reports back read
errors on the installation media (CD).
It's possible that there is something wrong with my CD/DVD burner but
earlier yesterday I burned a Ubuntu 11 CD with the same drive & it
worked fine on my wife's laptop install.
According to the Debian wiki on the subject, Lenny installs OK without
the need for the broadcom driver firmware so I'll try a 64-bit version
of Lenny today & see what happens. If the same errors occur, I'll buy
a 64-bit Lenny from a vendor to rule out any problems with my CD burner.
Thanks for your help,
Phil...
