[PLUG] RH 7.3 Install Issue

[Olds, Aaron M]

Well, I have done the md5 and it checked out fine on the third cd.
In fact, I burned yet another copy of the cd and it still failed.
It is really frustrating and as Carla stated you have to restart
the install.  In fact, last night it died with just one package left
to install when prompting for the third cd.  I am using the TDK cdrs.

Actually, there's a "check disk" option in the RH 7.3 setup. When the first
screen comes up, you can choose that, and then it will do MD5s on each disk
prior to installation. That way you can be sure of having good media.

Well, yeah, otherwise my shoes would tie themselves.
