Comment 1 Need Real Name 2000-11-11 12:39:37 UTC
After reporting this bug, I installed the update 20001009.img.  I got slightly 
farther along installation, then stopped with an internal error with the 
following bug message:

This sounds like your hard drive install image is corrupt or incomplete. Make
sure you have downloaded all the required files in a binary safe fashion.

I doubt it's a corrupt file -- I downloaded the entire set of RPM and base 
files twice, from two different sources.  You still have a bug, although I 
worked around it by downloading RH6.2, together with its updates, and installed 
it, and then upgraded with 7.0 -- with the same "corrupt" files.  That worked.
