Description of Problem: US Red Hat Linux 8.0 Personal (RHF0099US) Summary of your problem: won't install ncurses 5.2-28 Description of your problem: PIII 866Mhz with new, 2nd 60GB hd, 256Mb ram, creative cdrom-rw, cdrom install does fine untl error message loading the file "ncurser..." fatal error. States could be memory ( 256MB should be enough), disk space ( new empty 60GB Maxtor drive) or hardware. I noted linux states on start up that the loader can not probe the monitor (which is a standard Samsung 17 in) the graphics adapter is a Geforce3 which lunix finds. I tried the noprobe, lowres, and skipddc options and several combinations but it always stops installing at this same file. I verified the CDROM media with the provided program and it reports everytthing OK. I can copy the file under dos OK. How can I skip this file or manually load it or otherwise fix the problem? Thanks Our latest response: (from Red Hat) Re: ncurses Dear Sir, This could be a possible bug with the installer, I suggest addressing this to our developers at our bugtracking system.

I did verify the cdrom and the software reported PASS
It has been a week with no suggestions. what is going on? I would like to install linux and can't because of this problem. The only suggestion made was to check the cdrom which I had already done (as noted) in the original documentation. How about a little help?
