SuSE 9.3 problems.

I have downloaded the entire Linux 9.3 CDs (5 of em) and am trying to install it on a P III 512 ram. After downloading, I checked each ISO with MD5SUMS, and all were fine. When I booted with the first CD in, I checked the media (which was strongly reccomended), and MD5SUMS were no identical, and the test failed. I decided to continue nevertheless, since I had checked the MD5s after downloading, they should be fine. After half a minuter or so after installation began, I had a file which couldn't installed, and I had to abort installation. A) If my CD is faulty, that would be weird, since it was still in the case unopened. B) If I have to burn another CD with the 1rst part of the install, how can I be sure MD5SUMS will match, because I wouldn't like to waste another CD.

BTW, I burned each ISO using MagicISO.
 
Doesn’t seem like a problem with suse. It may be a problem with the ISO or an error that occurred when burning. There are probably other ways but I would just re-download the image and burn it again.
 
The image is fine; I think i'm going to try burning it at 4x, because I burned it at 52x before. Maybe that's the problem.
 
Well, I burned another CD at an 8x speed, and on installation, MD5 test failed again... But how can it fail, since ISO check was succesful AND I burned at a very low speed?
 
hmm...thats goofy. i would say 52x might not have burned "deep enough" and so it cant read, but at 8x it should be fine. maybe your optical drive needs a cleaning?

as im no expert at burning, i would also say try another program to burn with. my dad used nero to burn RH9 and it passed the media test and installed first try. it took a bit so im assuming it was at a slower burn speed as well (my dad set the options for me, since hes the one with the burner.)
 
Well, I opted to install it via an FTP install, but the 2 times I have tried, each time there was a problem. First time, swiss server, MD5 mismatch. Second time, unknow location server, Corrupt file... This is really annoying. Does anybody know of an FTP server that provides the ability to do an FTP install of Suse 9.3 off it THAT WORKS???
