Problem with dselect with Sarge

[peter <peterv@telpacific.com.au>]

I have tried to install "Sarge" on two computers

1.
Acer Aspire 1700 - A laptop format with standard 3.5" Hard drive and chip 
2.6GHz

Problem:  On boot from the installation DVD the mouse and the keyboard are 
inoperable.  The installation CD for "Woody" work correctly.

2.
Athlon 1.7GHz
Installs correctly from the DVD's.  On trying to install Zope using Aptitude 
or dselect only the installed material is displayed.  A search returns a null 
result.  No problem with the "Woody" CD's on the same machine.  This problem 
ocurs during the installation process and after an otherwise faultless 
installation.

The DVD's were supplied by a merchant taht would have downloaded and burnt 
onto DVD+R format.

Any advise will be appreciated.

Regards
Peter.
