From the installation sequence:
Installation method
-------------------
what type of media contains the packages to be installed?
Local CDROM
Hard drive
NFS image
FTP
HTTP
selecting "Local CDROM" invariably generates:
CD not found
------------
The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please
inser the Fedora Core CD and press OK to restart.
ok back
The above occurs whether I select "linux checkmedia", "linux rescue" or
just plain press enter. However, taking that disc to a different machine
and entering "linux checkmedia" gives an "ok", so, some weirdness with the
cdrom drive, apparently, on one machine. The media is CD-R/W and the
CDROM on the machine having difficulty is rather old. Does this follow,
that the CDROM drive can read *some* of the disc, but not enough to
install from?
Thanks,
