Thanks for the testing Stew.

So you didn't have any problems mounting the second CD during the
install?   It just wouldn't mount for me at all.  Is there anything
about the way the CD's were burnt that could cause the problem?  ie, the
volume name of the CD?  What else could cause it to simply not mount the
second CD and to keep asking for it to be inserted?

Thanks

Nick
