(...) I would first try the most obvious: attach a different optical unit to your system (either USB or internal. Yup, I know it's annoying but...) and try to load the dvd disc from there. This way you will discard a problem within your dvd unit. I wish one day optical devices become something of the past... even floppies have been proven to be more reliable than this laser thingy :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
