+If the problem was from there i wouldnt be able to boot the installer.
+The installer starts fine, and all goes fine untill the point i get the message:
+
+ Instalation failed, some files are missing:
+/tmp/image/media/core/telepathy-kde-common-internals-translations-0.3.0-1-mga2.noarch.rpm.
+You may need to update your urpmi databse.
+Try to continue anyway?
+
+and that package does exist, so the problem is about listed files in this iso.
+
+I just would like some one could try the DVD install and say whats happening.
