I'm trying to install Debian GNU/Linux 3.0rev2 i386 by CD, using a copy of binary CD 1 I burned myself, on a new machine. The CD boots and the installer runs fine, it gets to the part where it installs the kernel and driver modules, and then it asks me what to install from - CD, floppies, NFS, etc - even though the install guide indicates that it should know to install from CD-ROM. When I select the CD-ROM option, it says the CD was not mounted successfully (that's all, no reason given or anything).
I tried mounting it manually from ash, the little shell built into the installer, with (from the / directory) "mkdir cdrom" "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom". It gives me a line saying that /dev/cdrom is read-only and it's mounting it that way, then it says "Mount failed: invalid argument". /cdrom is a symlink to /hdc, which I understand is supposed to be the master of the second IDE device; according to the BIOS, this is correct. I have tried: -checking the options I used in Nero against the ones given in the install guide, and burning another CD -setting "Plug 'n Play OS" to No in the BIOS setup -removing write privileges for everyone from /cdrom None has helped. Any ideas? (I'm new to Linux, but I've had a bit of experience with FreeBSD. [I ended up not using it much after it was installed, because it didn't have a driver for my network card.] In case it matters, this computer hasn't and doesn't have any other operating systems installed.) -graue -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
