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
Good luck!
