I have no doubt that I can get a personal system working, but this is not 
what I am about.  The objective is to create iso's which GNU novices can 
use to make an installation with little fuss.

Problem 2.
Apt cannot handle a DVD.  It fails to fetch some packages from the DVD.  
These packages can be fetched manually and installed with dpkg.  I have 
tried three DVD drives and one of them had the same problem with CDs.  
The DVD can be copied onto the drive of the test system with no problems.  
Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks.

Phil.
