Hi, I'm having problems to install redhat 6,1. I have a machine with redhat 6.0 installed and working, but I would like to reinstall this machine, therefore it served only of tests. First I tried to give boot for the compact disc direct and to choose the Server Install option. Ah, graphical mode also did not work. I typed "text" in the installation. It didn't work, after to ask for name of the machine and IPs addresses (gateway, dns...), gives to error of installation "/usr/bin/anaconda... " I knew there is an instalation updates, but exactly thus I tried without success. Ok, I downloaded the files: "boot-RHEA-1999:044.img" and "updates-RHEA-1999:045.img". I had problems to download then using wsftp of windows, therefore the archives have ":" in the name same (only detail...). I've downloaded the files from linux. I transferred the archives to windows, modifying the names to "boot.img" and "updates.img". Through "\dosutils\rawrite.exe", I recorded 2 disks (boot and updates). I booted from the diskette and I typed: "linux updates text", I inserted 6.1 cdrom and later it it asks for to the disk of "anaconda update", I inserted the disk of "update", and then the installation starts. I chose the name of the machine and the IPs. Also I chose Server Installation. Exactly the same error, when reading the packages gives error. I made procedure the same and chose custom, it appeared to choose format of the passwords (shadow and MD5...) and when reading the packages, exactly the same error! What I have that to make? I was for linux and I lowered there for same imgs. I transferred the archives to windows, modifying the names to " boot.img " and " updates.img ". Through " \dosutils\rawrite.exe ", I recorded 2 disks (boot and updates). I gave boot for the diskette and I typed: " linux updates text ", I placed cdrom 6.1 and later it it asks for to the disk of " anaconda update ", I place the disk of " update ", and then the installation starts. I chose the name of the machine and the IPs. Also I chose Serving installation. Exactly error, when reading the packages gives error. I made procedure the same and chose custom, I appeared to choose format of the passwords (shadow and MD5...) and when reading the packages, exactly error! What I have that to make? Certainly I am errando in some place, where? Best regards, Ari
