   I doubt this will help as Anaconda is still being told you want a 
full install (including X).  While
I haven't heard of this specific error before, I had something similar 
and needed to re-burn a disk
at a very low speed (probably a combination of bad media and old 
burner).  You could test your
CD further by "exploring" to the file and dragging it to your desktop.  
When I had this problem,
the "copied" file had a size of 0 Bytes, though the CD reported a 
full-size file.  In any event, I'd
have to advise the slow-speed re-burn unless you have a linux distro on 
the machine and a spare
couple of GBs on an unused partition.  In that case it is much easier to 
use linux askmethod to install
from the local partition bypassing the burning of CDs

Good luck!
