This is odd... I'm wondering if you have some problem with your CD-ROM drive. I recommend trying a network install from the Internet using the boot.iso method that Jason suggested. (boot.iso is only a few megabytes so hopefully your CD-ROM will be able to read that okay.) Also, any particular reason you are running Red Hat 9? That's kinda old and will be end-of-lifed at the end of this month. If you want to stay with the Red Hat line, you really should use Fedora Core 1 or one of the RHEL 3 knock-offs (CentOS for example). --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
