Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-08-02 19:57:08 UTC

What type of install method did you use (CDROM, FTP, etc)?

Was this an install or upgrade?

Comment 2 TARogue 2000-08-03 02:32:11 UTC

I downloaded the .iso files and created the CD's

This was a Workstation installation with the default desktop being KDE. It was
being installed to the primary harddrive with mo other OS's on the system.

I later retried the installation and got the default web server installation to
complete successfully.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-08-17 16:14:42 UTC

Sometimes there are CDROM read issues which cause these errors.
