What does this mean? Please elaborate: do you mean that setup
beginning with sysinstall is problematic, in that you cannot use your
cdrom drive during sysinstall?

This appears to be the well-known FAQ about providing access to the CD
drive for non-root users.

Perhaps this will help:

Go to /usr/share/doc/ on your machine, and look for the FAQ
directory. In that document, you will find that chapter nine, question
9.22, is titled "How do I let ordinary users mount floppies, CDROMs
and other removable media?" Since the document in question is an html
document, you will be able to use a browser.

I'm not sure what this means; what question of compliance?
