The CD test is not 100% perfect at catching problems that can occur during an install. I would recommend you try installing from ISOs on your HD instead of using CDs to see if that works better.
Hello! I suspect that the CD's are fine, because I found that I could install the minimal installation and then keep trying to upgrade until all the packages were installed. Thus I conclude that no specific rpm on the CD is at fault. You suggestion is impractical anyway because Redhat almost completely fills the disk. Regards, Brian
There are numerous examples of this scenario. If you purchased the CDs and are having problems you can speak to customer service.
