>Description:
	When telling sysinst to install from CD, it would be nice if it
	accepted a blank device name to indicate that "I already mounted
	the CD for you; don't diddle with it and just believe the directory
	I told you to look in".

	To really support this well, sysinst should be taught not to prepend
	"/mnt2" to the directory specification if that directory specifica-
	tion starts with a leading "/" indicating that the user is specifying
	a full path name.  Either that or the documentation should be amended
	to indicate that sysinst really expects to see the CD mounted on
	/mnt2.
