Comment 5 for bug 988263

Yes. I had even tried switching CDs. One of them was even brand new. The image checksum was ok and the burn verified, so maybe the optical drive was overheated. They work ok today. Yesterday, I had done the Alternate *after* running all four Desktop tests, they use the optical drive intensively. Also even though the machine seems to run a little hot under Linux, the fan does not run fast. Maybe those factors combined made for failure.
