Linux redhat 7.3 cd 1 issues

[BobOmega]

i have downloaded redhat 7.3 2 times now (well cd 1 anyway) and both times using the mediacheck function at install has said its bad and dose not recomend installing with it. i'm atempting it anyway but the first cd i got had a bad file or somethign and linux dosn't want to retry it jsut quites everything. is there some other place besides linuxISO i can get an iso of it? or what? I kinda need to get my laptop up and running by towmarrow morning.

thanks

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/iso/i386/

Or you can try from any of their mirrors...
http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

Good luck, hope you have better luck with that first cd.

[storm2k]

did you run an md5sum on the cd? that's your first indication whether or not an iso image is bad...

definately try a mirror.

[BobOmega]

md5sum? i ran the linux mediacheck at the boot install screen. and the results are in on the redhat ftp one and it got a PASS. WOOOOOO form the time vass psoted till 5 seconds ago i've been downloading and burnign it . had to pass up some jedi knight 2 again to get it. but oh well.

grrr it didn't isntall
"there was an error installing ghostscript-6.52-8. this can indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted please verify your media and try your install again.

press the OK button to reboot your system."


DangNabit. its verifyer said it was ok. thats my 3rd redhat disc 1. Grrrrr Now what should i do? just instal 7.2 again? i'm having it check the cd again. this is very discourging. if only it had a retry option it might help. almsot done checking the cd..... It passes the Media Check what the heck. very confused now.

The media check of the image:
Valhalla 7.3 disc1
is complete, and the result is: PASS.
it is OK to install from this media.

any more thoughts?
