Okay, so I burned that CD-ROM image four times now - twice on my Windows 
machine using CDBurnerXP, and twice on my Linux box using GnomeBaker, 
using various different speeds (last one at 1x). Wouldn't it be prudent 
to expect at least *one* copy to be good?

The only common things between the attempts (aside from the image in 
question of course, which is ok according to md5 checksum) are (a) the 
CD/DVD writer brand (both are LG, maybe even same model), and (b) the 
CD-R media brand and batch.

Last time I burned a CD-R was about a year ago. The CD-Rs are from the 
very same batch I used successfully back then, and they're still good to 
read. Is there something like "media rot" with CD-Rs specifically 
regarding being good for burning?
