In short, my CD-ROM will read my Win95 CD's, but gives me consistent error messages when trying to read my FreeBSD CD's. Could the problem be with the CD's, or my CD-ROM? The drive reads a Micro$oft CD instantly, but I have to try to mount the BSD multiple times. Sometimes the machine will read it, sometimes it won't. On the occasions when I've been able to work through the installation, I get a lot of error messages because files are missing, even though I've selected those files and libraries to install. If there are steps I'm missing, or a way to complete the installation that I'm not aware of, please let me know. At nearly $80, I would like to be able to actually use the product. Thank you.
