Ok, I think I found out the problem. The CD in the laptop is now not
working. It worked to install the base but now for some reason has stopped
working. I rebooted it back into the Windows partition and no CD. So now
I have to figure out if my CD broke or if Neutrino did something to it
(unlikely).
Thanks for all the help and for now I’ll just use it on a pc.

I have not had any problems with this, but as a last resort you
could copy the /repository directory to your hard drive. Then
under pkg-installer you could Add /whereever/repository as
your own repository.
