[plug] frustrated.....plzz help !

[asif]

I got 'original' Redhat 8.0 CDs and tried to install it on my pretty old
machine (P-II 350, 64 RAM..). But after the 'Media Check' it always shows 'FAIL'.
Someone told me the problem is either with the CDs or my CD-ROM drive (Asus 50X). Then i went to my cousins house and checked on his PC with Asus 52X drive.
The media check showed success. I brought that NEW CD-drive along with me and tried again on my PC. guess what.....FAIL ! 

then i tried installing it anyway and blew up my partition as it stopped halfway
showing the following message.

ERROR
**********
The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/glibc-common-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try again.
