I don't know why jigdo isn't working for you - it worked marvellously for me,
and it even checks cheksums for errors in the constructed image. If
jigdo finished and said there were no errors, but you still ended up with a
CD with errors, then there must be something buggy about your cd burning
process. In any case, don't try starting an installation with bad CDs.
Buying copy from a vendor is an excellent and cheap alternative. Some
vendors are listsed at www.debian.org under "CD vendors". I've had good
experiences with www.chguy.net, who's in Canada but is cheap to the US too.
