Please try this errata:

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000-084.html

or better, try the 7.2 release, it has ALOT of bug fixes since 7.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2002-03-12 16:21:20 UTC
Buzer, are you still having problems with this issue?

Comment 3 Eljas Alakulppi 2002-03-13 13:39:43 UTC
bfox, yes, i have. When I try use rawrite, it make disk many files (size about 
500Mb), but when I run Linux installer, it say "Not correct update disk" or 
somthing.

Are these cds you burned yourself?

Comment 5 Eljas Alakulppi 2002-03-29 11:43:22 UTC
katzj, no. I have bought them IT Press (finnish version (IT Linux)).

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2002-04-09 00:31:18 UTC
This looks like bad CDs.  Please contact the vendor from whom you received the CDs.
