1 To whom it may concern:

3 Two things
4 [please note i am *not* annoyed, the parts that died were under warranty,
5 but this is kind of disturbing.]
6
7 During installation using a LiteonIT CD-RW drive (5-15 minutes into
8 installation), the CD was unmountable, when I checked to see if the CD was
9 all-right, it was unusaually warm (it melted soon after). Skipping the
10 testing i performed, the CD drive is now unusable -- i would bring this to
11 your attention being that i suspect either the IDE controller failed (i have
12 had difficulties in the past with this controller) or there is a bug in your
13 CD-Drivers which ultimatly led to the downfall of the drive. No concern,
14 still under warranty.
15
16 However, i am now still attempting to install your O/S, is it possible using
17 a utility such as WGET to install your OS by downloading the entire set of
18 packages and installing in that method?

20 Cordially, :-)
