Hi all,

I am installing my first Linux - RH 7.3, on a blank 30GB disk which I let the installation partition automatically. The PC is a Celeron 566MHz with 128MB Ram. The error message I get at random times (three times I have tried the installation and all three I received the error) is:
<<
There was an error installing <filename.ext>. 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.
>>

For the last two installations, the <filename.ext> was first aspell-fr-0.1-1 and then gnumeric-1.0.5-3. However I think the problem is somewhere else - oh! I forgot to mention that I downloaded the iso images myself, burned them and did the 'mediacheck' tests included in the installation for all three installation disks, which the CDs passed.

I am waiting for your valuable suggestions. Sorry for long message
Thanks in advance

Have you checked at Redhat's support site to see if anyone has reported similiar problems while installing 7.3?

It also could be a faulty cdrom drive. Do you another that you could use?
