Are you trying to do this with a read-only file system? Possibly the
package's install script uses your current directory for temporary
storage, and you have cded to the CD-ROM, it can't.

If this is the case, 1) try it from another location, say /tmp, and 2)
please report it as a bug.

Oh, BTW, 2.4.18-5 is available as RPMs from Red Hat. I have
sucessfully installed it on my 7.1 testbed and laptop. It seems to be
working just fine. Watch the dependencies, especially kernel-pcmcia's.
