What install type were you using (NFS, cdrom, etc)?
I booted off a boot floppy that I created from the installation CD, and was installing off the CD from a local drive.
Did you happen to burn this CD yourself? It looks like it was unable to run a program that is shipped on the CD, which should be pretty foolproof unless the CD has errors.
I didn't burn the CD. I'm using the original CD sent to me by Red Hat. My customer number is 294260, registration number 53c4c21e1a7b46e3. I bought it a while ago and have tried a few times to install it, but it's never worked.
It is possible your CD is bad - you can get a replacement CD from customer support.
