I'm deeply disappointed. I ordered an Edubuntu disk from on-disk as a gift for a non-savvy young girl, because it's supposed to be the extra friendliest distro on Earth, and somehow it came to me with a big fat discouragement during install:
"The CD-ROM does not seem to contain a valid 'Release' file, or that file could not be read correctly. You may try to repeat CD-ROM detection, but even if it does succeed the second time, you may experience problems later in the installation." This is not exactly evangelism! The CD's self-test passes, hence the report as a bug. How should on-disk know that the cd won't work if 'Check the CD-ROM(s) integrity' claims that the disk is good? (As an aside, the possessive is missing; I'd reword that as 'Check the integrity of the CD-ROM(s)") I'm glad I insisted on opening the package and testing it before sending it on to the young girl in question. Installation is a very hard problem, and this leaves me unimpressed. Off to try again with a disk I burn after download. Grem -- -------- __@ Gregory A.
