Try this:
1. Mount the CD in the usual place:
su -c "mount -o exec /media/cdrom"
(or whatever magical incantation works for you)
2. Cd to your home directory and run the CD from there:
cd ~
/media/cdrom/installer --log
This will drop the Install.log file into your local directory. Then
you can examine it and/or send it to me.
