[PlanetCCRMA] Cdrom images

[Jakub Niewiarowski]

In general I had the same problem with dual (triple) boot. I don't know 
what cause the problem, but there is kind of bug in disk druid 
(partioning system). The best way to avoid the problem, is to create ext 
partition before you begin to install fc (you can use fdisk but don't 
try partition magic - I had very bad experience with it)
