I suggest cleaning the lens and trying a fresh burn. However, the installer should deal with this more gracefully if possible.

I think the best sollution would be to offer CD (md5sum) check when user starts install to hard disk utility. For example when user press on "Install to hard disk" then such message could be displayed: "Before installing it's recommended to check your CD/DVD drive and disk for errors. You can press "Cancel" here if you are sure, that your CD/DVD drive and disk are OK"

I suggest cleaning the lens and trying a fresh burn. However, the installer should deal with this more gracefully if possible. This will give a more useful error message: ubiquity (1.1.28) edgy; urgency=low * KDE frontend: Ensure that the selected language is visible. * KDE frontend: Add a keyboard variant selector. * Incorporate user-setup reserved usernames fix (closes: Malone #47861). * Catch ENOENT, EIO, ENOTDIR, and EROFS while copying files, try to figure out what filename they relate to, and display a useful error message explaining that this is probably a CD or hard disk fault (as appropriate) and how to deal with this. Closes about a million bugs. * Display extended descriptions as well in debconf error dialogs. * Remove stub hppa support for now, since partman-palo is no longer in main. * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup 1.7ubuntu16, debian-installer-utils 1.36ubuntu1, user-setup 1.2ubuntu4. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Thu, 5 Oct 2006 09:32:18 +0100
