Lee, more specifically, check the RedHat/base/hdlist file for corruption ... they should match the md5sums here: # md5sum RedHat/base/hd* da08ed9f6b3071fd6361e9eb1fc370f9 RedHat/base/hdlist 31bbfea4b72c2e25b4c57f8226cd3ac5 RedHat/base/hdlist2 7e0de3f0cbc607b6ce506977ff326728 RedHat/base/hdstg1.img # Let me know if this solves your problem. Regards, Brock PS. one can pass the url for ftp.redhat.com or mirror site as well (assuming a decent speed connection to the net and not overloaded mirror) to the installer.
