I seem to have missed that. I pulled in the CD, and have booted one
machine here sucessfully. On shutdown, the system did not eject the
CD, so I was stuck with a CD in a powered down CD drive. I trust the
maintainers have already figured that one out. Other than that, my
limited testing showed no problems.

I had boot problems on another machine, which I believe are related to
the fact that the CD-ROM drive is at hdb instead of the more common
hdc.

I did not test the installation.
