Greetings:
I am having a hard time installing suse on my newly built pc.  I had =
sucessfully installed it many times before on my old pc.

I have the boxed version of suse 8.1 professional.  I load up via cd.  =
It shows me various options to installing.  I choose the top one =
(installation) which I have done in the past.  Then it loads kernel.  =
Screens pop up asking what language and type of keyboard.  I hit enter =
on both occassions. Then, and this is where installation halts, a =
message pops up asking me to be sure that cd 1 is installed.  I press =
enter for ok.  Then a red box pops up and states that cd rom can not be =
mounted.

I tried to go manual installation but same error.  I have tried =
alternative installation disk 2 but same results.

I have a P4 800mhz processor with 1GB memory and an intel motherboard.  =
Thinking it might be my cd rom I changed it with my other one that was =
used to install suse before but same results.

All cds are good/ not damaged.  Googling just made me waste time.

If someone can give me insight and direction I would be very grateful.

Jim George
