   Updateing MD2011

   HP 6730b Laptop - Win7/MD2009/MD2010/MD2011/MG2 - SeaMonkey Internet Suite   
      
   A couple of days ago, I posted in alt-os-linux asking for tips on   
   d/l'ing the updates for MD2011.   
      
   This afternoon, I connected my Laptop to my sister's cable system to try   
   update MD2011. MD2011 connected to the WAN a lot easier than Win7, which   
   (pleasantly) surprised me. I then went into M.C.C., selected Update your   
   system, selected a mirror in Australia, and after a time was told there   
   were a heap of updates to install. I selected "Update" and was told   
   there were 269 updates available.   
      
   I selected "Update" and a screen came up stating:-   
      
   Change Medium   
   Please insert the medium named "Main Media"   
      
   and gave buttons for "Cancel" and "OK"   
      
   Pressing "OK" did nothing, or, I suppose, the same screen just kept   
   displaying.   
      
   If I selected "Cancel", a screen displayed, stating:-   
      
   Installation Failed   
   There was a problem during the installation   
   Medium "Main Media" is not available   
      
   and I just had an "OK" button.   
      
   What have I done wrong??

   (P.S. whilst I've been typing this, I think I might have updated my   
   MD2009 (5 pkgs).!!)
