Looks to me like you have some sort of DNS problem, since 'wget' could not resolve sources.redhat.com to it's IP address. Do you use a proxy to access the internet with your browser (assuming access to the internet works with your browser)? If so, you may want to choose the 'IE5 Settings' option in 'setup.exe'. That might help with the installation. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
