You did check the file is actually there? Does an interactive (i.e. non-kickstart) install behave the same way? Do other packages install OK prior to hwdata? >I used tar to copy files from cdrom to the install directory so the >.discinfo file was copied. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any reason to use tar? "README-en" on the first CD describes the recommended way to create an install tree, although I can't think of any reason it shouldn't work (if the files end up in the right place...) Cheers, Phil
