The psu mirror has the complete iso, and the md5sum checks, as I said
before, so this is not my problem.

Yes, I know that these are the most common newbie problems. I don't
think that I fell into any of these traps though. :) I have been using
YDL since 1.2.1, and have not had any problems in the past of this sort.
I certainly don't use MacOS to burn CDs, so that should not be a problem.
One thing about my setup: I have OS X.1 and 9.2.1 installed on my
machine. Is it possible that something changed in open firmware or the
disk drivers?
Could people please email me 1) Whether or not they have had success
with a burned 2.1 and 2) What the latest version of MacOS they had
installed was?
I'm grasping at straws, but I thought about the usual problems, and I
don't seem to have any of them. :(
