[luau] goofy install

I've had problems like that before.
Usually turned out to be a bad CD or the wrong cd.
I'd start by booting the 1st cd on another machine(if you don't want to
abort the install) and "scanning/testing" the 3 cds.
That's a start. It should identify the cd label during the scan.

I was installing RH9 yesterday and it got to the third
CD but couldn't mount it. I've used these disks
before, so I waqs surprised it was having a problem. I
made a new disk 3, but it wouoldn't work with that one
either.

Do I have any alternative to hitting reset and
starting over?

Any idea why this would happen, other than something
scratched my CD?

More detail on symtoms:

It spit out CD 2 & put up the dialog box asking for CD
3. I put 3 in the tray and closed it, but it popped
out again immediately. tried this several times. Then
I just hit "okay"button on the dialog, the tray went
in & came out again & I got a message "CD failed to
mount" or something like that.

Thanks for any clues.
TB
