This server does not have a graphics card. The steps that I'm following are:<BR /><BR />1. I mounted the cdrom drive on the server.<BR />2. I copied the setup.sh file on the cd to /tmp (This was recommended by the vendor)<BR />3. I ran the setup.sh file and it installed the appropriate files. It then prompted for CD#2 (there are 3 CDs).<BR />4. On a laptop running Hummingbird Exceed I unmounted the cdrom drive and ejected the CD.<BR />5. I then put in CD#2 and mounted the cdrom drive from Exceed.<BR />6. Unfortunetly, the server is not reading the CD.<BR /><BR />Please advise. <BR /><BR />Thank you.
