Re: Aurora Corona (2.99) 20070829 CD install Still does , CD Not Found .

This isn't so much a fix as it is a work-around -- I was able to copy
the contents of the ISO's to a NFS exported disk on a different machine
on my network and then do an install from network.  It saves you a LOT
of hassle of switching disks, something that I have always found to be
error-prone, especially on my old UltraSPARC II.  However, even on my
Intel boxes, I usually install that way so I don't have to babysit the
system during the install.

(To copy the disks, you can actually do a loopback mount on the iso
image, and save yourself the trouble of burning CD's.)
