How curious.
I finally got a 2nd download and burn done. I used the mirror at ftp://phyppro1.phy.bnl.gov/pub/YellowDog/iso and grabbed the pomona-2.0-20010602-install.iso file. I burnt it, booted it, and huh? The exact same error message happened!

(I tried putting a Zip disc in as someone suggested, that didn't help at all) Also, I bought the CD at a local store, will this affect how they ship me a new one?
