2. Both do a reboot after the first CD, and neither enable DMA on my CD-RW or DVD. Which means your install happens a hell of a lot slower. So what I do is when I boot off the CD, I wait for the screen where you select your language, hit Ctrl+Alt+F2, and do
# /sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc
I sugested you try this, yesterday I think :-)
The effect of DMA=off on a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is so great, that I get jerky playback on a DivX movie from CD on a AthlonXP 1800+ with 256Mb RAM and TNT2 graphics (with nVidia drivers installed and working).
Yes, that's absolutely normal. I think I posted why in january, when you asked about it. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
