This is the message I received when install failed. The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/zlib-1.1.4-4.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try again.
Help! What is the fix?
Tried to install it again. This is the message I received when install failed. The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/perl.Filter-1.28-9.i386. rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try again.
As described in the bug this was marked a duplicate of, 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 ***
How am I to implement this bug fix when I can't even boot up linux? What is "dd or rawrite" and what is the syslinux prompt?
