[plug] Redhat 7.3 install (argh!!!!)

[Adrian Blockley]

Ah now that is interesting. Were you using Next handbooks "Exploring 
Linux" which comes with 3 CDs or the original redhat CD #3? I went back 
to the Newsagent where I bought the original disks and tried a few 
other sets and still had the same problem. The problem wasn't that the 
disk was corrupt but that it didn't have a valid checksum. 
The publisher  sent me an email apologising for the problems with the 
third CD and explained why the CD was causing problems. The basic work 
around is to do an install where the RPMs from the 3rd disk were not 
required. According to the email they sent me the source rpm for zsh 
(which was on the 3rd disk) was corrupted (maybe when they copied the 
original iso?)  
Cheers
