Yeah the CD will mount fine on the system I am installing on.  Sorry I had
so much to say it was hard to make it all clear.

From the ALT-F2 tty I can mount the CD but the install still will not
accept.  When mounted it changes the error message to the second message I
received.

Also I have burned at least 30 other Operating Systems with the same CD's
and burners without problems.  The SLES isos I obtained from IBM but the
7.2 isos I got directly from SuSE, both I burned myself, checked MD5 sums
and mounted.

If I can tell the install to mount iso9660 or to accept the CD as mounted
it would allow me to pass this stopping point.  No changes I have made to
config files in /etc seem to affect the installer.

Thanks,
Doug
