Comments/Problems:
The installer (20040323) failed loading jfs-modules-2.4.25-1-386-di,
but this could be related to a simple reading error of the device.
The point is the appearing error message (something like):
"Load installer components from CD. Integrity check failed for
jfs-modules-2.4.25-1-386-di. Aborting."
And I have two choices, namely "Go Back" and "Continue". Choosing
"Go Back" brings me to the main menu, but "Continue" does exactly
the same, which I find very counter-intuitive. I would expect the
installer to skip that package and try to continue without it...
In fact the error messages read the same, when e.g. installing the
base system and one package fails. In my opinion there should be a
possibility to skip failing packages (or actions) as far as possible.
Or if this is not possible, at least remove that "Continue" button
which is not working as one would expect.
Regards,
Stefan

The UI issue was fixed, now if there is a read error from CD, you can
choose to retry it, or cancel.=20
We'd appreciate if you could try again with current images, and file a
new report.
