I edited the .discinfo file but still the installer does not recognize the dvd as an instllation medium. I have attached the .discinfo file. If i made a mistake let me know..otherwsie it looks like the installation program itself may need a bit of adjusting..no idea. William William Warren wrote:> Well that didn't work.
