Those of you who follow Slashdot already know this, but I know some people on 
this list don't.  And I know that Mandrake is fairly popular as a "try it out" 
distribution because of the ease of installation.  It seems there is an issue 
with Mandrake 9.2 installation and LG CD-ROM drives.

Basically, don't install Mandrake 9.2 until AFTER you've checked your CD-ROM 
manufacturer and version.

Here's a thread you can read for details:

and the details from MandrakeSoft:

It will be interesting to figure out exactly what is causing the problem.
