I've reported this to "bugs" but don't expect any response from there...

I successfully installed 7.1 on my desktop with some issues; but none like
trying to install 7.1 on my Tecra500CDT where the install process proceeds quite
nicely through the first CD...

Then... the prompt to change CDs...  Mandrake does not unlock the CD drive! 
I've tried graphical and text installs several times looking for ways around
this.  I've even risked blowing up the h/w by ejecting the entire drive and
re-inserting it; this unlocked the drive but resulted in a segv.  Then, there is
the issue that I can't leave the machine or it will also refuse to re-light the
screen if I wait too long; balancing my stapler on the Shift key provides some
relief here...  

If I install just the first CD, is there a simple way to later proceed with the
2nd CD?

Thanks,
Pierre

I've purchased 6.0 and 6.5(6.1); but I skipped 7.0 because it wouldn't even get
past the floppy part of the install on this laptop.  7.1 looks much better (even
after trying all the distros (except Corel and FreeBSD) from LinuxMall's
megapack); but this problem....  :^P
