Hi! I wonder if anybody encounter "no source disk" when installing Mandrake 8.2. I tried to boot from CD-ROM when it keep ask me for source file, it seems they can't read the file from the CD? I tried both on my laptop and PC, both are the same faith. Is there any workaround for this nuisance??? BTW, I did change the CD for the second time and still the same
