Make sure that the installation directory has r-xr-x-rx permissions before 
starting the burn. Do a quick "ls -lR" on the source directory to a file and go 
through it slowly, any file that is not a document or an rpm file set to execute.

I lost something like 4 CD burns (out of the 20 or so I did) for RH5.1 due to 
this. The classic symptom is that the floppy stage works until the second 
stage kicks in and then dies horribly.

Otherwise the only other thing you are probably missing is a couple of "-v" to 
watch the progress :-)
