[ale] Bad drive?

[Eichler, Paula J.]

Actually, it could have been, as the old drive was an 8x, but I got the
install CD from LinuxMall.  I don't know what media they use, but my
assumtion would be CD-R.  Junkers have generally been a challenge for me too

Could this also be a case of a CD-R or CD-RW being used in a CD-ROM drive
from the pre-CD-R era?  I run into such problems pretty regularly, even just
last night (I'm trying to make a MOSIX cluster out of junkers).
