Total Failure on Kubuntu 21.04 install

[Bruce Marshall]

I usually try to upgrade my systems when a beta is announced, and other than some glitches of past installs, it usually goes well.

And I always do a fresh install, never an upgrade.  (shudder)

Anyway, I went to install 21.04 and it totally failed.

Installed from a USB and at the end it said it had a failure installing grub.  I have an HDD and an m2 disk.  Tried both, and got a failure note.

However the system did boot and I figured out later that it was the efi portion of grub-install that failed...  yet there was NO indication of that, so others
might have totally scapped the install at that point.

So I continued with the install since I don't use the efi anyway and that problem is most like a problem with my efi setup.

But installing other packages, I continually got a message to "please mount CDROM <lots of info> into /media/cdrom    and the pkg install would stop.  Could
not get past that point.

So I built a cdrom install disk figuring that might work.  Nope, got the same message after the install trying to install pkgs such as postfix or libdvd-pkg

So this is the first time I have totally struck out on a beta install.
