It is certainly repeatable for me, and prevents me from installing; I need everything, as this system is going to a friend that doesn't have the CDs.
An update disk for Red Hat Linux 8.0 is available at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/8.0-cdread.img that should correct this problem. If you download this image and place it on a floppy disk (using dd or rawrite as with a boot disk), and then boot with 'linux updates' from the syslinux prompt, you will be prompted to provide this disk. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75377 ***
