[SLUG] Problems Installing Red Hat 8.0 [More Info]

[Louis Selvon <lselvon@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Sluggers:

Can't see if the original post I sent was received by the list.

Anyway I have received Red Hat 8.0, and Mandrake 9.0 from the Linux Minibook.

However I am getting problems with the installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0.

The actual error message is a missing package from the CDs. The error quoted:

"package zlib-1.1.4.4 
zlib compression and decompression library

Error:
file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/zlib-1.1.4.4.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due
to to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try
again".

This looks like a problem with the distribution CD I was given. Has anyone
seen this issue ? I will probably sent it back to PC World and ask for another
one.

I even tried the individual package install, and I went through all of them
one by one, and I cannot even find a package called "zlib". The closest I saw
was "zlib-dlevel".

Any comments on this, fire away .

Cheers

Louis.
