Description Todd Mason 2000-11-03 15:27:04 UTC
When installing RH7 onto an IBM Thinkpad 600X laptop, anaconda halted and 
I saved the following to disk and am reporting it to you as suggested.

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2000-11-03 19:45:22 UTC
There is something wrong with the CD image you are using. If you burned it
yourself make sure you download the ISO images with the binary ftp option,
otherwise you can contact Red Hat customer support to get replacement CDs.
