Yes, I see that.

However, there was one option that was not discussed, or if it was, I
missed it. If you know that /dev/cdrom will (might) not be set up,
just *tell* the installer that this might be the case. Experienced
*nix installers will know what to do, newbies will get a clue.

Well, at any rate. I'm perfectly happy anyway, knowing about symlinks
and all ;-)

Cheers!
