Bootable Mandrake 6.1 CD, created by mkisofs. You should be able to
find an identical 6.1 ISO on ftp.linux.tucows.com or similar, if you
want to test exactly what I am testing with. I see this on all the fast
CDROMs I use, though... Mandrake ISOs, Windows driver CDs that come
with hardware, RedHat release CDs, etc. They all fail in a similar
fashion.
