[Y/n] Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter And there's the problem -- why does it want to use /cdrom/ when I told it the cdrom mount point was /mnt/deb_iso1? Can I edit the sources.list file to override the cdrom mount point for each .iso I want to use? Thanks, Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
