Comments/Problems:
The installer improperly set up device names for the DVD+/-RW device.
It correctly set up ide_scsi emulation for the drive, but did not set
up the device names right. /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cdrom0 -> /dev/scd0.
But, /dev/scd0 is not where ide_scsi sets up my cdrom. /dev/sr0 is the right place.
The system hostname was not established properly. I named my machine
"office-linux", but instead it was named "localhost". I'm not actually
sure how to fix this. Simply changing /etc/hostname was not the right solution.
