   First, let me mention that I've had this problem with several Linux Live    
   CDs.   
      
   I downloaded Edgy, and burnt the iso in Windows using IsoBurn. Unbuntu    
   was very slow to boot up, or to do anything after booting. I clicked on    
   the Install icon, and 45 minutes later, had gotten to step 2 of 6. The CD    
   deck showed constant activity, but nothing was happening. I finally went    
   to bed, with the step two dialog box about halfway filled in, hoping that    
   it would be finished by morning.   
      
   When I got up, all activity had ceased. The dialog box was at the same    
   point as the night before, and the system was frozen.   
      
   I had the same problem with Live Cds containing Mepis & PCLinuxOS.    
   However, Debian and Mandriva ran just fine from CD, as does Puppy Linux.    
   All were burned on the same deck using IsoBurn.   
      
   I'm wondering if some Linux distros do not recognize and install my CD    
   deck properly. In these cases, the deck appears to be running at less    
   than 1X. Using various Windows software designed to ferret out hardware,    
   it either comes back as a TSST or Samsung. Windows itself reports it as a    
   TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS-H492A.   
      
   The computer is a Compaq with an AMD processor, 2.0 gHZ, and 256 M of    
   memory.
