I'm trying to install Debian on a new PC via the CD-ROM. everything goes ok until i come to the point when installing from the (infomagic September) CD. When attempting to install from the CD-ROM it says "Insert the CD-ROM and enter block device name []:" AFAIK it's /dev/cdrom ( a bog-standard ide/adapti that worked under slackware)It doesn't seem to recognise /dev/cdrom and i tried mounting /dev/hdaX where X is a partition number... It mounts them ok BUT it complains that they're the wrong FS (not suprising.. they're the HDD not the CD-ROM) I have previously loaded the cdrom module in the setup and it recognised it ok then. Maybe i'm doing something stupid. If so, enlighten me :) The Slackware junkies on #linux don't have any ideas.... they recommend 'down-grading' back to slackware.
