any ideas?

Your machine may not be automounting the CD. Before running, put the cd in the beverage tray, open a terminal, become root and go:

mount /mnt/cdrom [enter]

That will get the CD going so the program can find it. When done, go:

umount /mnt/cdrom [enter]

That's Umount amd not UNmount.

Dan I did that and it says permission denied. I also tried in root same thing.
