Re: cdrom problem installing etch

[Daniele <d_iencinella@yahoo.it>]

Thank you all for the answers!!

Finally I managed to install etch using the workaround available here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataAtapiHowto

as suggested by Stefan. The problem with SATA was solved both with cdrom and 
disk. 
Almost everything was ok (except for the ethernet - the Yukon chipset version 
2 of a Marvell Gigabit Ethernet - but I solved the problem with the 
proprietary driver ...sigh...).

Thanks again all

Daniele
