Comments/Problems:
No CD in drive, detection of cd-drive failed, The machine has HardWare problems so this could
explain why the cd-drive was not detected.
When trying to install in Dutch (Nederlands, Netherlands) without cd I had terrible
difficulties to install a system (I tried to install an unstable distro).
The install procedure kept going back to the menu option to detect Debian-install-cd (I wanted
a network install). Which ever I did I always got an error message that no cd-drive was detected
and after that it returned back to the menu. It got too confusing to see what was
happening. It's not my first debian installation by a long shot, but this was the first
time I had to give up because of total confusion.
