I have occasionally experienced 'sticky CD' syndrome where a CD that is in the 
drive for a long time suddenly becomes inaccesible for no reason.  The 
problem clears with a reboot.

Can I also add that, for example, if you want to add a module to the standard 
ISO image you can't.

I installed a m0n0 system for a client a few weeks back on a trial basis, 
using the CD image.  They rang me up to say that they had a problem - it 
turned out that an over-zealous admin had removed the floppy because of the 
security policy at the site!
