Subject:   Very slow install from CDROM

I have the ISO Image of 4.6.1-RC2 burned to CD.

Trying to install on a P200-MMX (Compaq Deskpro 4000) with a Creative 
Labs ~24x CDROM and 540MB Western Digital HD. (I know, it's small, 
but I'm just doing the minimal install)

No matter what I set the interface settings to on the HD (PIO mode 0, 
mode 4, EDMA) and even with both CD and HD set to DMA, and using the 
workaround published in the errata for 4.6 to set DMA mode, the 
transfer rate from CDROM is excrutiatingly slow, somewhere around 7 
KB/s.

This is crazy.. any ideas how I can speed this up?  On another system 
here (350Mhz P2, SCSI disk/CD) the transfer rate using the same CD is 
ONE HUNDRED times faster.  I realize the slower system should install 
somewhat slower, but not *that* much slower.

TIA,

Phil
