Storage? I am Storage!
For the umpteenth time.
I'm trying to install in VMWare 4.0, from my Lite-on 16x DVD-ROM drive (which has worked flawlessly so far). Virtual m/cs in VMware use the BX chipset (which is what my real m/c is anyway!).
I first downloaded the .iso files from an unofficial mirror (which I found on Linuxiso.org). MD5 sums matched perfectly. When these problems cropped up, I downloaded again, this time from an official Mandrake mirror, checked the MD5s, burned the CDs extra slow (24x on 40x media on a 48x burner with burn-proof). Same thing.
I even stopped overclocking (from 112 MHz bus to 100 - he he); let VMWare pick the defaults for virtual m/c config (256MB RAM, 4GB HDD).
In the initial package selection window, I even tried saying minimal, with X system and basic documentation. Same thing.
I tried manually selecting minimal packages. Same thing.
It's always the same error. Finishes copying stuff from the CD, then pops up a series of windows with these messages:
For each window, I answer Yes (go on anyway). After the last window, the installer loops back to asking which CD-ROMs I have, so it can display the appropriate packages to select for installation.
TIA for any suggestions.

An error occurred. Some important packages didn't get installed properly. Either your cdrom drive or your cdrom is defective. Check the cdrom on an installed computer using "rpm -qpl Mandrake/RPMS/*.rpm"
OK
TIA for any suggestions.
