Gary,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Your suggestion did not give a result on 
launchpad. The strange thing is that I get regularly ata1 errors (which 
show up in my daily logs) but current kernels use scsi as indication of 
disks and the HD's on this system are SATA (1 internal 2 external). The 
CD-writer (Samsung SH-223) is also SATA so I don't understand the error.
But I solved it by copying the CD to an USB-stick and read it on the 
target system. Not a solution for the problem but a circumvention.

Due to time differences (I assume 8 hours) You read my mail when you're 
awake as I wrote it late at night (~ 1 AM) and I read your mail I 
presume when you sleep| but at us at least much faster than snail mail.

Gary, thanks again,
Joep
