I recall seeing some discussion on Cooker that if you have less than 64MB of memory, the installer cannot create a ramdisk, and therefore cannot unmount the cdrom. This allows you to only use the first disk. This should not affect the addition of the sources later though. I don't know what is causing that problem. -- Greg
