Warty -> Hoary not going smoothly

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Well, I've got an explanation of sorts for synaptic not using the CDROM.
I took a look at what happened when I did an "apt-get update" on the
console line.  It seems to reject the CD as being unstable.  Did I get the
wrong version?

Session follows.
