It was generally a bad CD reader. I have one dependable CD reader, an ancient single speed Sony, that I use for new CD installs. Almost all of my others have problems of one sort or another and two I actually paid for have died. Try carefully cleaning the CD itself and mounting it on other computers. If you can see it there, the CD drive is bad. If you get it to read on that other computer, move the CD reader and try again. Your install system might be smart enough to pickup where it left. Depending on how flaky the drive is, you might want to start again because you might have broken packages from the first CD. A Knoppix install might be more robust. Distributions like Debian have network installs to avoid CD problems and to make the most recent versions available. It's not exactly a newbie install, but it might be easier than acquiring a good CD reader. If you have a good network connection and a second working computer to look up answers when you get stuck, this might be the way for you to go. We just did an installfest and I'm trying to get another one together. If you get fed up and want it NOW, I offer a cheap install service: http://www.hillnotes.org/fixit.html On 2003.07.30 14:29 "Goodson, Jacob" wrote: > > > I am new to the Linux and am trying to install Red Hat 8.0.
