Brock, Now that you bring this up, I wanted to inform someone that the MD5SUM file in that directory has incorrect checksums for hdlist and hdlist2 in it. Based on the timestamps, those files were updated after the MD5SUM file was created.

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.
