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?
