The boxed RH7.0 Professional we received at the Cambridge offices contained
a bad CD (Binary #1), unkown to us at the time. 

The GUI installation did not report any errors when attempting to install
these RPMs and silently failed leaving you with the impression that the
install worked, or leaving you in no doubt that there was a problem during
istallation (but no idea to the cause). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a custom istallation (Do not select GUI login (level 5)) and
ensure one of the corrupt (unreadable) RPMs is included (util-linux always
should be by default).  Either your install will hang, crash (see log), or
fail silently.  For the latter continue with 2&3
2. Reboot as per normal
3. Attempt to login as root (fails as login was not installed)
	

Actual Results:  For the hang, the install, er, hung.
For the crash, see additional info for the anaconda.txt
For the silent failure, you could not login in level 3.

Attempting to read each RPM in full off the CD revealed 3 bad RPMs, one of
which was util-linux.  It was only after the silent fail that I could
reboot and bring up the system in single-user to discover that util-linux
(and hence login) did not install.


Expected Results:  Error reporting failure reading the RPM off the CD.
