Re: unable to install debian on ultra5



Hi,

Another info that might be relevant: I had the same
problem, until I discovered that in addition to
fast-burnt CDs, for some reason the ultra5 doesn't
seem to like fast (52x) CDROMs...

When I mounted a 32x CDROM everything worked fine...

cheers,

Joseph Simantov
