Comment 1 Need Real Name 2000-11-01 18:33:17 UTC

I ftped Redhat 7.0 RPMS and base in
/usr/src/redhat-7.0/RedHat
I am currently runing 6.2, trying to upgrades to 7.0
Applied the Anaconda updates, update-disk-20001009.img,
the same problem still exists.

It appears either some packages are missing or corrupt.

When you download make sure you use the binary ftp option.
