Bug Description

I just installed 0.0.9 from binaries and now the program is no longer able to detect the Ubuntu 8.04 live disk in my DVD drive. This did not happen in previous versions.

It looks like you are not running from the Live CD. It appears that you are trying to use a Live CD without running from it. This is not recommended. Please boot your computer from the Live CD.

(If you want to do it anyway, make sure the Live CD is mounted to /cdrom, not /media/cdrom.)
