Comments/Problems:
The install aborted with this message:
There was a problem reading data from the CDROM. Please make sure it
is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the
integrity of your CDROM.
In /var/log/syslog:
Aug 4 20:48:48 anna [3201]: grep:
Aug 4 20:48:48 anna [3201]: /cdrom/dists//Release
Aug 4 20:48:48 anna [3201]: : No such file or directory
It appears that somehow the installer program does not know that it supposed
to look in /cdrom/dists/sarge/Release
I have previously installed knoppix hard-disk install. I also installed
Debian/Woody and verified the md5sums on the installaion CD itself running
on the laptop so I know the hardware can successfully read the CD.
I've also had this same problem with the sarge netinstall CD.
