Description of problem:
During installation anaconda fails randomly to open the package files to be 
installed. A messagebox is displyed. 
e.g "The file /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/docbook...rpm cannot be opened. This is 
due to a missing file, a bad package, or a bad media. Press <return> to try 
again"
After clicking OK (or pressing return) multiple times, anaconda finaly decides 
it can read the file, and the installation continues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installation program for Redhat Linux
2. Proceed until the packages start to install
3.
	

Actual Results:  A message box is displayed. The user needs to press "OK" up to 
5 times before the installation program proceeds.

Expected Results:  All the packages should be installed without user 
interaction.

Additional info:

Very annoying because you cannot leave the comuter during installation.

Pentium 133 MHz, 48 MB, 1,6 GB HD

If you look on VC4 you'll probably see alot of read errors. This dialog occurs
when a CD is bad.
