Ok. That confirms it's the right media. All of those have .disk/info
files.

When running the installation, please try the plain "Install" option,
and when it comes the Partition Disks dialog, enter the shell with
Ctrl-Alt-F2 (and Enter).

Use "blkid" to see which block devices the installer sees, and
use "df -h" to see which, if any, are mounted.

After partitioning, the installer will want "/cdrom" to be a mount of
the installation media of type iso9660.

If "blkid" says that there is an iso9660 partition xxx, but it's not
mounted, then try a manual hands-on:
# mount -t iso9660 xxx /cdrom

Return to the installation with Ctrl-Alt-F1

Ralph.
