I have had difficulties - not really linux related but it's the only
OS I've run in several years - but likely hardware issues on an older 
Pentium 100 mainboard. Getting the BIOS to see the CDROM is very
problematic if it is set to anything other than master, with two
drives in the system. I toook that advice (learned from experience)
and when I put together my existing athlon box I put the CDROM on the
secondary IDE channel (/dev/hdc).

Of course, your mileage may vary.

FWIW dept: I attempted to install 9.0 back in September using a
net image - i.e., boot from floppy and get it from predownloaded
RPMS - no go. Ruined my box :(. I got some friends to mail me 
CD-ROMs as I have no burner here.
