Default installing Fedora, major snag...

I'm on CD#3 and this is what I have.

"An error occured unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing
/mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to try"

W
T
F!!!!!

This happened with CD#3. Can I get out of this and install CD#3 later? How
do I get out of it? Just turn off the PC?

So I am still in the middle of an install. Any ideas? Prior to this, there
were about 5 error messages (something about package not readable) which I
was able to click through.

Do what it says. Try again, after stepping off of /mnt/source, where
you appear to be sitting yourself.

Just do as it says.

Wtf?

Then go back and unclick through them. You clearly have messed up your
cd! As well as your brain.

Check your CD's for errors, or your CD drive for problems. That's why I
prefer to do network installs whenever possible: I hate having problems with
CD-R's and really old or beat up CD drives.

And be prepared to restart your installation from scratch.

By the way, which Fedora are you working with? Fedora Core 1 or one of the
test releases?
