I did this and it worked fine.  Switching my IDE cdrom back to normal 
IDE operation that is.  I left my burner as scsi emulation and my DVD is 
scsi so no changes there.  I mounted the cdrom explicitly and ran the 
copied linux-installer.sh that was in my home dir.  I had disk 2 in my 
DVD and 3 in my burner.  Once it was done with one it mounted and found 
disk two and then three when two was complete.  I was able to unmount 
both DVD and burner and put in disk four and five respectively.  When 
the install was done with disk 5 it went back to disk one in my cdrom 
and finished up without a hitch. 

I only had my cdrom using scsi emulation for use in K3b.  It works good 
that way.  And I never did like supermount so it is always disabled. 

Just thought you'd like to know my results.  Thanks again for the help.
