Just got some customer feedback on the installation guide, but what he experienced does involve the install code, too. The last screen (The "congratulations, installation is complete" one) instructs the user to remove the floppy, but neglects to tell them to remove the CD. In this person's case, he booted from floppy, but his system was capable of booting from CD. So the end-of-install reboot took place, his system booted from the CD, and he was plopped back into the install. I'd suggest changing the "remove floppy" sentence to read something like: "Remove the floppy and/or CD-ROM from your system, and press return to reboot."
This was fixed a few weeks ago and will be in the next release of Red Hat Linux. Thanks for the report.
