I thought I was on the way to a successful install (thanks to help from Duane and Jason) but now I'm at an impasse. Installation was processing packages and errored out on /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/termpca-11.0.1-1.0.noarch.rpm - coudn't read the file. Retrying didn't help (it didn't appear to access the CD at all - no light). I took the CD, popped it into my laptop and found the file. I went back to the Compaq, put the CD back in and used the shell prompt to drill down to the correct directory. However, it doesn't display that particular file from an ls command. I can't get past the error - it only wants to keep retrying - that's the only option. I can't cancel or otherwise halt the installation. Is there someway for me to get this file where the installation program can find it? Or do I need to re-burn my CD? Thanks for all your help! Jon Moss
