>Description:
The "Boot Only" CD image includes and prompts the user through the install process. However, there is no prompt to insert the second CD which actually contains the data.
Following all default prompts results in several errors without an indication of how to solve the problems.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Prepare CDs from the official .iso images
2. Insert the "Boot Only" CD into a clean computer system.
3. Go through a default install until you get to the point where it says, "Are you sure... We are not responsible for data loss..."
4. Click yes.
RESULT: It will get through installing the file system and creating the "Emergency Holographic Shell". Then you will begin getting a series of errors.
NOTE #1: These errors are because the user should have inserted the second CD. But there was no indication that this was expected. Further, the errors do not indicate that this will fix the problem.
NOTE#2: Inserting the second CD and trying again causes the install to complete successfully.
EXPECTED: Both a prompt to insert the second CD, and error checking to verify that the correct CD had been inserted before the installer attempted to use it.
