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,

Thufir
