It helps narrow things down. Installation page does need a bit of work. You previously said I am attempting to install the dvd-i386 iso on a Dell Dimension 5100c (P4+2GB+CD/DVD) system. ...it attempts to use the option for local CDRom, it fails to see the DVD that the installation is actually running off of. The process halts, and all activities await a recognized CD. Do you happen to know how what style your CD/DVD is? Is it ATA, SATA, SCSI, or USB? It might sound odd that we would list USB, but some manufacturers are starting to do that. Maybe a USB DVD drive is cheaper than a SATA one, I don't know.

I believe that I used the primary site for download in the US, however, I don't actually remember which specific site I used. I did however, download it from links on the primary site for Scientific Linux. -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M. G. Wigglesworth Holdings, LLC
