A possibility is that the CD is corrupted. A suggestion from me is that you download and bur a new ubuntu cd. (it's v important that you download a new one - you should also ensure that the size of the downloaded corresponds to just above 690MB)

Agree that DVD from Ubuntu magazine is probably corrupt. Second copy is on way by sea! (don't ask)
Dial up slow line prevents large downloads so rely on mags DVDs for updates, John.
System very good with previous Ubuntu's, Vishnu Gt

Will advise when new DVD arrives if still unsuccessful. Thanks for help.
