    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    A Windows CD will not autorun under Linux. However, it should automount into /media, where it may be possible to run the installer using Wine. When you put the CD in the drive, wait some time (up to a minute, but generally less), and then see if there is a subdirectory under /media. This should be where you should find the mounted CD. Another possibility is in /cdrom.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
