The CDROM fiasco is well known and unsolveable for now unless this works.
Install the patch, start CM6k, it will ask for the CD -  shut it down.
 Re-insert the CD so it will autoplay - and  shut it down before it attempts to
install.
 Remove the CD and start CM6k. It might not ask  for the CD.

Check to see if most of the tutorials hav been corrected from this list of
corrections.
			CM6000.01 Tutorial mistakes

	In the  Strategy tutorial
Pg 67- There is a mistake in the suggested alternative on page 68. 1.Rh1 only
delays the win. After 1.Rh1Kg7 white would have to play 2.Rc1(d1) anyway in
order to get to b8.

161- The 1.Qe2 should not have a ? after it.
195- The rest of the pieces should be on the squares because white has
alternatives otherwise.
255- The F7 pawn should be on F6.
257- The move numbers should be one number higher.
261- There is a mistake in the commentary. It should say "e" file instead of "c"
file. The pawn should not be shown on d3 because it was played to d4 and
captured.

In the Seirawan tutorial
Pg 133- There is a mistake in the word "go". It is missing the letter "o".
168-177 A white pawn should not be  on c4
171-. There is a wrong audio comment. It should say 2.....Rc7.
204-209 The black pawn on c7 should be on  c5 and the black pawn on f7 should be
on f6.
229-230 The black pawn on c7 should be on c5.
353-356 There is a missing black knight on c6.
582-597 The black pawn on g7 should be on g6.
597- The wrong knight is shown delivering mate.

In the Brain Teasers tutorial
Pg 7- Missing  black bishops on h1 and b8.. Black rook should be on d4 instead
of e4.
8- Black rook should be on d4 instead of e4.
12- Black pawn should be on a2 instead of c2
22- Missing black pawn on e5.
 24- Missing black pawn on e5
25-26 This brain teaser doesn't make sense because of  1....Qxb3.
106-145 Missing black bishop on a4.
163-170 Missing black bishop on h2.
291-294 Missing black pawn on a3.
355 The word "with" is left out after the word "dealing".
371-372 Black bishop should be on e6 and black pawn should be on g7.
373-377 Black pawn should be on g7 instead of g8 and black bishop should be on
g8.
378-379 Pawn on g8 should be a black bishop.
593-600  There should not be a pawn on f4.

If almost all of those hav ebeen corrected then your 2nd patch worked well.
Check some of the other improvements that were supposed to have been made. If
they are present then don't worry about what the About number says.
