I have a high-quality burner.  I did manage to re-use the Ubuntu ISO
image last night on a 2nd box.  It performed a 2nd flawless
installation last night.  I suspect that speed played a role.  I had a
couple of Morphix CDs from a co-worker.  The Morphix-GNOME worked once
only.  I believe the CD was generic.  I also don't think burning
normal data at a normal speed is an issue.  At least, I haven't had
that problem.  The only problem I experience is with ISO images burned
at high speed - anything over 24x so far.  The current Ubuntu image is
burned at 16x.

This has been an interesting experience, and I appreciate everyone else's input.
