More randomness with the 8.050 install; I randomly get the message "Install.tar wasn't found on the installation media" ... looking at the log, the message is /install/install/install.tar: No such file or directory.
I've tried multiple CD burns (using the same burner that produces working 8.002 Disks, etc.), downloaded the ISO twice, etc. still it's a random chance as to whether the package copy completes successfully. I am using a USB CDROM Drive; thinking that maybe the drive was going bad, I even purchased a new, different one. The issues persist. Everything works great, and is predictable, with the 8.002 ISO.
