    Hi Gerhard,
    This issue has been discussed at length on this list. The thread starts
    here:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/05/msg01703.html
    I'd suggest that when you have a problem try googling the list first.
    You'll often find a solution/discussion about it.
    I googled using: /media/cdrom0 site:lists.debian.org
    google is your friend.
    Cheers,
    Jonathan
