DJ....there really isn't a bug. There are a few users of this
list that have decided that there is a bug at work when certain
older cdroms cannot read some cd media. This has been
interpreted by this faction a 7.0 bug where allegedly 7.0 cannot
intitialize certain cdroms during the installation process. The
evidence points to a hardware problem, not a software one.
