Thanks for sending that.  It helps narrow things down.

Installation page does need a bit of work.

You previously said

"I am attempting to install the dvd-i386 iso on a Dell Dimension 5100c
(P4+2GB+CD/DVD) system.
...it attempts to use the option for local CDRom, it fails
to see the DVD that the installation is actually running off of.  The
process halts, and all activities await a recognized CD."

Do you happen to know how what style your CD/DVD is?
Is it ATA, SATA, SCSI, or USB?

It might sound odd that we would list USB, but some manufacturers are 
starting to do that.  Maybe a USB DVD drive is cheaper than a SATA one, 
I don't know.
