I also added linux noathlon; mem=nopentium; nousb; text; and other. It is one of the most furstrating experiences as I have tried to install at least a dozen times. I thought it was the hd until rh told me it is a bug? Is there a work around? so that I can it installed? Look forward to your reply as I'm totally stuck! thanks I did change the first hd for another and I was able to initially install but then wanted to chage .... Now it crashes every time!

The update disk available at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/73raid.img should fix the problem. Put it on a separate floppy and boot with 'linux updates', inserting the disk when prompted *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 64734 ***
I downloaded the file 73raid.img which is 1474560 bytes - all of the floppies I have have the capacity for 1423.5k bytes and the copying pgm doesn't seem to be able to cut the file so as to copy it onto 2 floppies. Can you suggest a solution? such as making that file into 2 files or reducing the file by 60k?
