Sorry guys I've just now managed to find the answer to this problem.  Ref: bug 
18031.  I've got a bad CD.  The Traceback matches word for word.

P.S - funny how you can spend hours on the web looking for the problem, not 
find it, file a bug report then find the answer 30 mins later.  Hey I'm a total 
novice at this.

I've also located http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html so I'm 
going to try making my own disks and go from there.

Cheers
Sean
