Description Michael Flenniken, Jr. 2000-10-06 20:09:32 UTC

During installation of redhat 7.0 I get an error.  The file dump to the 
disk follows:

Traceback (innermost last):

Also have same error over 5 different times, have recopied files each time 
using binary rather than ascii format, and each time is same error, is Anaconda 
the problem, or what else is culprit? Am new to linux as a whole and RedHat 
particularly, and this is not very impressive, to say the least, please let me 
know of a way to fix this.

This is most certainly a problem with the RPMS you downloaded.   You may want to
try downloading an ISO image and burning CDs instead.  Be sure to verify the
checksum on the images to make sure there were not errors in downloading.
