Problem Solved! I finally was able to search bugzilla and found the solution there: bug#75377 It has a link to an update image for anaconda: http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/8.0-cdread.img
The installer now works ok. It still could not read some of the largest rpm's (open office) but does not crash. so I installed without them. There are still some problems reading very large files from the DVD-ROM. I may have to ftp them from Red Hat. The system is now up and running and I can install the packages I want at my leisure. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of antonio montagnani Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 10:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Compaq Presario 5610 cannot install RH8 Iain Buchanan wrote: >On Tue, 2002-12-03 at 14:54, Cy Ball wrote: >[snip] > > >>The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/glibc-common-2.93-5.386.rpm cannot be opened. >>This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media.
