From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I downloaded the 3 ISO's for Redhat 9 and burnt them all to CD's. I was installing through VMWare 4 on Windows XP at first. I chose almost all the packages and set off installing. CD 1 installed fine but part way into CD2 it came up with a corrupt package message. I tried again but removing the package that game me the error and a different package came up (I will list the packages at the bottom). After a third attempt and another corrupt package I decided to redownload the second disc from redhats FTP. I burnt this disc and got errors again. I rebooted the virtual machine and tried the media check on the 1st and 3rd discs and they were fine, but the 2nd disc reported errors. So I mounted the disc 2 ISO in VMWare and tried the checker on that and it had no errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm 4.2-0.69 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure that the PDF viewer is installed for X 2. Make sure the additional Sane components are installed 3. get to the second disc of the installation. Actual Results: I got an error on the screen saying that a package had an error and could not be installed. It said that it was probably due to a corrupt package or damages disc. Expected Results: Straight through the installer being able to include the complete set of packages. Additional info:
This is a problem specific to your hardware to CD media. We do not support installation under vmware either. The dialog you see occurs when there was an error decoding an RPM from the install media and is due to read errors from the drive and/or media.
