Is there a problem with the CD-ROM drivers on the Hail distro?
I burned a CD with the Hail distro and started the install.
The new install system was looking good until I got to the point of
selecting the install source. I selected CD, and it asked me to insert
the Storm CD. I clicked OK, but it kept asking me for the CD. I tried
removing it and putting it back, but nothing worked.
Eventually, I selected install via ftp. Some problems (see below),
but I got it installed.
I have since been unable to mount any CD-ROM:
/ # mount -r /dev/cdrom /cdrom
/dev/cdrom: Success
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/cdrom: Read-only file system
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
/ # df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 964500 831948 83556 91% /
/dev/hda3 3059760 2800708 103624 96% /info
/ # mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)

Since I have @home, I thought an FTP install this would be relatively
painless. I went ahead and selected the packages I wanted. It told me I
needed 770MB. I was installing on a 1GB partitiion, so I went ahead. After
about 3 hours: Fatal error, disk full. :(
I started again and selected the bare minimum. I got it up and running
then installed X via apt-get. Great, except that the mouse was not
recognized. I could not get it going, although it worked fine on the
console. I tried killing gpm before going into X, but it made no
difference.
Frustrated, I went back and installed a minimum, but with X window this
time.
That worked, and I installed everything else by various methods: apt-get,
dselect, Lynx and Netscape.
