I have never been in this situation, so cannot say this will work or not ;-) Have your Redhat CDs dumped into HDD somewhere, and then: cd /path/to/rpms/folder rpm --initdb rpm -ivh --justdb $( cat /var/log/rpmpkgs ) Ought to work, assuming you have all the RPMS from the three CDs in your /path/to/rpms/folder. If it fails, save the output and post here.
