>Description:
I've tried burning CD's and installing from them. It never prompts for disc#1 or disc#2. Just keeps telling me that in can't find various components on the media.

Tried to do a network install. Gets farther, but with just a User Install and the defaults for space, I get part way into /doc and get /mnt/usr: write failed, filesystem full. I tried breaking out a separate partition for /mnt and I get farther but eventually it just tells me that /mnt is full. The default allocations don't even allocate a mount point for /mnt. I've gone through this exercise about 10 times so far and nothing that I can think of seems to work. If Linux is supposed to be the future, we're all in deep trouble. Any suggestions?

>How-To-Repeat:
Try the basic install and take the defaults. Fails every time.

>Fix:
Better defaults?
