Comments/Problems:
It couldn't find the CD (MATSHITA CDRW/DVD UJDA740) or drivers for the it. I found that strange since it booted off of the CD! There was a page of optional modules I skipped then loaded others and after that worked, the CD was detected. But the HD wasn't. It wouldn't let me partition the drive or mount the partitions. I don't know what happened here.
