[vox-tech] Fwd: Severe UBUNTU Installation Problems

[Chris Jenks]

   Dear Jason,

   It sounds like there are flaws in the CD, which is an extremely common 
problem. When I install Ubuntu, I burn several copies of the CD hoping 
that at least one copy will have burned correctly. When you boot from the 
CD, there should be an option to check the CD for defects - does it report 
any?

   Yours,

     Chris
