Yes.
But as I said in my previous email, I cannot use the 'cmp' method to
prove the burning went ok. isodump/isovfy were happy with those media,
but still I cannot boot from them.

Have you tried burning to a CD-R instead of a CD-RW?

The convention on Debian mailing lists is to post new information at
