Hi:

I did contact the supplier before all this, and he said that he tested
each CD, DVD this time prior to shipping, and they worked fine. He sent
me a new set of them, because he guaranteed them.  When I used them to
upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 they were read, and everything about reading
them, worked in 7.10 at first. Then after doing all the upgrades in 7.10
it did not work anymore, and I abandoned trying to do an upgrade over
top of 7.10, to 8.04. I bought a new DVD Burner, because I suspected
that there was something wrong with the older one. It burned fine,
played CD, CD Avi's DVD Movies just fine. After posting the detailed
description, of the problem, I tried it with the Install CD which came
from him, now that will not read in 8.04 either, it used to before I did
all the upgrades. I've included the Pictures, of the screen Dialog
boxes. I read on the web that other people that bought repositories on
DVD or CD ran into this problem too.  I put Ubuntu 8.04 on a Pentium 3
in the last 3 weeks it had this problem too.

The first Picture is the software sources in Synaptic, or Software
sources, Repositories, in Software sources, either way of doing this
creates this problem.  When Third Party Software TAB is arrived at, ADD
CD is pressed, it asks you to insert the CD. When you insert the CD,
then press OK, on that dialog box, right away the next dialog box comes
up, and it says E: Could not mount CD. If I wait until the CD / DVD is
recognized,and read a bit and do this, it still comes up with E: Could
not mount CD, as soon as the OK Button is pressed in the Insert CD
Dialog Box. You can see that the CD/DVD is mounted on the desktop, and
that a file browser for it is opened on the desktop, but in Synaptic it
says it can not mound the CD.  I took a screen shot of the File Browser,
for the CD, to show you that there are Package files on it.
