Hi,
I've looked every where but cant find anything other than people
saying try the net install I've tried the net install and it still has
the same problem. The problem is when the installer gets to Detect and
mount CD-Rom it keeps saying no common cdrom how can I mount my cdrom
and tell the install where it is. It boots and I can see the drive in
/dev/disk/by-id I've tried putting this in when it asks where the
cdrom is to no avail. please help sorry if this is not formatted well
my good keyboard is on the machine I'm trying to install debian. I've
tried installing older versions of debain as I saw someone say that
the newer kernel doesn't support dell but that wouldn't work either.
I'm trying to install Debian-8-from-DVD-and-tried-netinst

tx in advance
If it's having trouble installing from CD, you can try installing from
USB stick instead. Debian makes it easy by having their .iso files
bootable from CD or USB. Just cp the .iso to the USB device (not to a
partition on it). e.g. if your USB stick shows up as /dev/sdd1, cp the
.iso to /dev/sdd (note the lack of partition number). This will wipe out
the entire stick, so make sure you don't have anything important on it.
