Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-02 22:17:59 UTC
Is this from a official Red Hat CD or one you made yourself?

I would recommend making sure the redhat-release package is readable, it looks
like a bad media problem.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2000-10-03 16:07:34 UTC
It is a CD I made myself from the ISO images online.  I will verify that the CD 
was written correctly.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-03 19:02:08 UTC
If you could run the md5sum command on the 'redhat-release' RPM I could tell if
its corrupt.
