Unfortunately, the Hardy alternate boot CD does not have a driver for
the CDROM.

I'll file a bug for that.

:tube time: n. Time spent at a terminal or console. More inclusive than
   hacking time; commonly used in discussions of what parts of one's
   environment one uses most heavily. "I find I'm spending too much of my
   tube time reading mail since I started this revision."

Do you have a vga= option on your kernel boot line (run `grep vga= /boot/grub/menu.lst`)? If so, then it is probably the same as bug #122379.

For specialization is a process that begins as an attempt to develop experts
who will then inform the whole body. It can end, however, and sometimes does,
in the removal of any inclination to question the supposed "experts" -- who
themselves are sometimes not all that expert.
