Hi David, I've noticed that the APCMag CDs are often unreliable. I don't 
know what they do with them, but we've tried RedHat 9 and Mandrake 9.1 
off those CDs and the installations either crash midway through, refuse 
one or all CDs, or the installation is just broken from the start.

I guess I wasn't paying attention the 50 times you said you used APC CDs :-)
