Thank you very much for quick response.
So do we need to make a device driver file for CD - ROM drive?
with the F2 option
cd /dev
mknod sr0 b 11 0
chgrp cdrom sr0
chmod 660 sr0
then mount the device
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0/mnt
return to installer console
pressing (F1) then install using the mounted file system.
I have got this information from one of the forums so just want to share with you.
in my earlier posting "Not recognizing" in sense it is not reading from the CD ROM when it asks to install.
Thanks
S
