Cadence installation problem

[vinayak_3]

Hi,
I am facing problems with installing Cadence. The CD's appear to give the following errors at random points in installation.

DD error:
xxx records in
xxx records out

The number xxx keeps changing and sometimes CD-1 goes fine..sometimes it doesn't... on the same machine.

I also tried copying the whole CD using

$ cp -R /cdrom cdrom1

However the softload program - provided by Cadence fails to recognize the directory cdrom1 as the cdrom mount point.

the cp -R command gave error with one file..but I copied that file again..and also compared the sizes which were ok.

Is there any utility through which I compare the cdrom1 directory contents with the actual CD mounted on /cdrom.

Thanks in advance,
Vinayak

Sorry, forgot to mention that we have B2000 workstations with HP-UX 11.0 loaded on them.
