What type of installation is this and how did you start the installation?

Comment 3 don cox 2002-01-04 20:00:03 UTC
I started the installation by inserting my CD rom and ipl from the cd rom.  I
then choose new installation using the GUI.  I choose english, two button mouse,
104 pc keyboard.  I then choose server as the type of installation. I then
choose various packages.  The process started to copy the various packages.

Comment 4 don cox 2002-01-04 22:49:22 UTC
I have managed to stop the rpm.error.  This machine had a virus checking
capability in its BIOS.  After disabling it, I no longer get the rpm.error.
