I recently installed both versions of 6.1 via a boot only iso. Is there a 
chance that the disk image that you downloaded was damaged or that perhaps 
there was a problem with the server site that you downloaded from. I have 
actually had better success installing via the internet than from fully 
downloaded CDs.
