I could well be wrong but, linux is case sensative and Redhat CD's have the
following directory structure on there cd's.
COPYING ROADMAP doc/ ls_lr updates/
DISK.1 RPM-PGP-KEY dosutils/ ls_lr.1
INSTALL.TXT RedHat/ images/ metrolink/
README SRPMS/ infomagic/ misc/
README.1ST TRANS.TBL locatedb.ldr rr_moved/
1) REDHAT should be Redhat, but of course DOS shows REDHAT.
2) RPMS should be in the Redhat directory and show as shown here under.
3) Its base not BASE.
RPMS/ TRANS.TBL base/ i386 instimage/
Other than that i cant help you any more.
