--0__=0ABBE160DFDE21808f9e8a93df938690918c0ABBE160DFDE2180 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII 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.
