BUT on a system that has been upgraded to 8.0 the script runs.  I used
the same CDs on both systems and the CDs verifited.

Possibly related to this bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76269

ppmtolss16 is a perl script. Can you try this on both machines:

1. Get the syslinux-splash.png image from disc 1.
2. Run `pngtopnm syslinux-splash.png | ppmtolss16 > temp.lss16`

and see if you get an error.

Thanks,
