post install dump, install said to mail to bugz

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-31 16:06:01 UTC
This is probably due to a rare error in rpm installing packages due to a read
error from the CDROM.

This is a known problem.

Did you burn the CD yourself?

Comment 3 linda piltz 2000-11-01 06:07:25 UTC
The cd was burnt by myself.

I re-downloaded the redhat7.???.disk1.iso file from mirror.aarnet.com.au the 
new iso file is 675MB the old one was 512orsoMB.  I will try burning a new one 
and using the update patch I found as well.  

Thanks
