hmmmm ... can you verify your download of the Red Hat Install sources ...? Often missing files (such as 'comps' in your example) above occur with a bad/corrupt download ... hope this helps ... :) Because of being unfamiliar with SunOs and ftp, it could have been, that I downloaded only *.* and not *. I have downloaded everything once again.
/RPMS and /base. But the installation failed again. I will post the bug at the end of this comment. Do I need the /instimage directory?
If it does not work at all, is it possible to use the bootnet.img and anter a username and password for the proxy-server? My problem is that I am sitting
behind a firewall hence I can not download RedHat directly but have to log in with my username and password. As far as I am concerned the bootnet.img
does not give the possibility to log in before trying to contact the ftp.server. Or do http.server exist, where I can get RedHat from?
Thanks a lot for your effort,
Sven

There is something wrong in the hard drive install image that you downloaded. Be sure you get all the required files and have downloaded them in a binary safe fashion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18019 *** |

For me using the boot.img is the only possibility because I am sitting behind a firewall that does not allow me to connect to a ftp Server in order to install by bootnet.img. Neither I have a CD writer. Please tell me soon, because I really need to install my Linux to be able to work on my studies. Yours sincerely, S. Burmeister
