Kick start fails when source files are copied to a hard drive because of 
duplicate 8.3 file names.

To reproduce, copy all files from CD #1 and CD #2 to a bootable, 2GB DOS 
C: drive.  Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to have loadlin launch a kickstart install 
from \AUTOBOOT; kickstart file is on the C: drive.  Reboot to start the 
installation.

Installation proceeds normally until installer begins reading the package 
files.  The installer will fail with a 'package not found', 'corrupt 
package' or similar message, depending on the order in which you copied 
the distribution files to C:.


There is a work-around:

1. Copy the contents of CD #1 to C:2. Copy the contents of CD #2 to a 
(newly created) \TEMP directory on C:
3. Identify file names in \TEMP\RedHat\RPMS that match \RedHat\RPMS.
4. Rename the duplicate files in \TEMP\RedHat\RPMS to new, unused names 
and alter \TEMP\RedHat\RPMS\TRANS.TBL to match.
5. Cat \TEMP\RedHat\RPMS\TRANS.TBL to the end of \RedHat\RPMS\TRANS.TBL
6. Move \TEMP\RedHat\RPMS\*.* to \RedHat\RPMS
7. The kickstart will now work.
