Subject says it all, really.  I purchased Linux Unleashed, and am in the
process of attempting to install it from the CD-ROM.  The version of Linux
on the CD-ROM in the book is v.2.2.0  I am attempting to install the version
onto my home computer.  I have a SoundBlaster Multimedia 16-bit card.

I have successfully? managed to set up my partitions and swap space. My 
problem is that when in the installation process, I attempt to install 
software packages from the CDROM.  The "setup" program does not recognise
my CDROM.

I've attempted to create a symbolic link, and then mount it.  The symbolic
link appears to work well, but an error message comes back from the mount,
saying that the CDROM cannot be unmounted.

I've looked in the CDROM, Hardware and Kernel howto's, and am quite stuck 
with What my next step should be (burning the computer is not appreciated).
