lol, we also did that. And we a Cyrix chip so our computer was pretty slow (but fast for the time) and you had to shut down absolutely everything, even the screensaver, that damn thing coming on is probably responsible for at least 100 coasters haha. Any sort of PC stutter and you were presented with that damn buffer underrun error message.

I was like 12 or 13 and wanted to install linux, like slackware 2.0 or some shit lol. But I didn't know about iso's, just FTP. So I was trying to download every single file from a unpacked linux distro on a ftp site with a 14.4k modem. Then I'd burn them and try to install. I think it took me nearly 500 cds before I got a working install. The install would get like 60% and die on some corrupt package/file, I'd redownload that file, burn it again, run the install... 61% crash, repeat... I did get that sucker installed though. insanity lmao
