Hey Janina, Glen, and anyone else following this thread. I haven't yet burned my RH 8 disks to cd but asumming there is an /images directory in cd 1 the way there has been with past RH releases as a suggestion to Glen, asumming he didn't corrupt the images by forgetting to download them in binary mode, why not just create the images using rawrite and disk 1 of the rh 8 cd set. At least this way there won't be a version miss-match unless I'm miss-understanding something. Hope this is helpful.
