Bug Description

Kubuntu Gutsy 4 Alternative fails to install on a Dell Latitude C840 Laptop.

Have tried with two different cds, both of which verified, and one of which installed as a Virtual Machine.

First cd failed with message:

"Please insert the disc labeled: 'Kubuntu 7.10_Gutsy Gibbon_ - Alpha
i386 (20070808)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter."

However, the cd is in the drive, and in any case, the cd drive won't open.

Second cd failed with:

"An Installation Step Failed:
Select and Install Software"

(Gnome) Ubuntu Gutsy Alternative Tribe 4 installs successfully.

I had a similar problem with hd-media and Kubuntu alternate too...

Perhaps you could try during install to switch to the terminal 4 (hit ctrl+alt+4) that displays error messages and give some more details...
see if errors are the same as in my syslog (see bug report above)

Try also to check the cd at boot time you have this possibility in the menu
