installing RH 7.3 from CD.
okay, after verifying my images and attempting to install the bare minimum to get a first boot, the rpm still chokes on various packages: printer drivers, perl packages. it's different every time. with no option to skip/abort that particular package once the rpm install has begun, i have to go through 10 minutes of configuration every time to restart to get back to try another install.
are there other options to install? or am i missing some integral piece of information somewhere - like 7.3 doesn't HAVE the nessesary packages or something and i need to get them from somewhere else? i tried manually downloading the missing/corrupted rpms from http://www.rpm.org and replacing the ones on my install disks, and they're still coming up bad.
>>> 6 hours in on my first install. i didn't think i'd be wrestling with what seems like a trivial issue so long. any help would be appreciated. thanks!
