Hi All,
truly annoyed with this distro. Here is my situation. I attempted CD based upgrade from 2 to 3 just b4. Got to a certain package, which gave the following error, ttfonts-ja-1.2-36 cannot be opened-missing/corrupt file/package-corrupt CD media/drive can't read media(paraphrased message)
[snip]
Before starting the upgrade, did you do a "media check" to make sure all the CDs were correct?
You might want to retry the upgrade but specify "linux nocddma" at the boot prompt. That might work better for you.

Hi All,
Paul, what does that actually do, if ya wouldn't mind elaborating.? Cheers.
It turns off DMA access for the CD drives. It'll be slower but it *might* alleviate the problem you're having.
