I am having difficulty when selecting the installation medium. When I choose CD/DVD, it returns "Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist. Input / Output error 5. I have already set up the partition, and used the auto mode to create slices. I also tried the FTP option, at which point it prompted me to setup my network interface, which I could not complete. I'm using built in nVidia ethernet that it recognizes. I enabled DHCP in the options menu. I know my default gateway IP, but am unsure what to provide as hostname or domain. I currently have a linux distro installed, so if there is a command i can run to retrieve the necessary info I can do that.
