so mount the first CD-ROM in an OS you already have running (windows, linux,
whatever) and make a floppy using the
/images/alternatives/cdrom.img-2.2.19-BADZ5 file. under dos/windows you do
this using rawrite (also on the first CD). under linux you use dd.

so, when you are prompted to input a password for root during the install
process, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 and you will be taken to a "virtual terminal" on
which you will have a command line. type the command they give above (rm -rf
/mnt/lib/i686)

then press Ctrl-Alt-F7 and continue along as you would otherwise.
annoying? you bet. stupid? you bet. workable? for now... i'm sure mdk 9.1 will
take care of this issue ...
