Hi Dick,

Check with fuser -cu what proceses are keeping the device busy.
You could kill it with fuser -ku /mountpoint or with kill, just make sure you do not kill the installation.

Dick,

fuser -cu gives you pids, with ps -ef | grep pid you can check the name of the proces.

dick,

I would suggest you don't install all the application software (I assume that's what's on the third CD) and just get the machine up and running before you attempt to install CD 3.

I can't understand why the system would do what you are seeing during the install process though.
