Try the "Show Panic Text" option in XPostFacto, to show the console messages as it
goes through the install process. Also check the media for scratches, smudges, or anything else
that could be interfering with its readability. I just install 10.2 on my 604 9500 recently, and
had trouble with the brand-new CD's, which turned out to have a tiny-winy smudge of something on
Disk 1, that made it unreadable at that place, at which time the installer quit with "exit
code 0". Showing the Panic Text, I was able to see the I/O error message just before the
exit, looked those up via Google, and lo and behold CD related read errors. I ejected the CD and
look at the read surface and saw a smudge that I wouldn't normally have thought could be a problem
and wiped it off. I think it may have been glue from the envelope.

Apprently not reading the CD isn't the main problem - I can always
access it through another computer on the network anyway. But xpf
doesn't let me choose either the volume to install on or that to install
from - they show up in the window but are greyed out so I can't mark
them with the mouse. So xpf never starts the install.
