Red Hat 9.0 Install Problem

I recently downloaded the iso's for RedHat9.0 from www.linuxiso.org and this is the problem.

i took it home and booted from cd. pressed enter to use the graphical install option, [problem 1] and if RedHat8.0 installation is anything to judge by, that was NOT graphical install :p it was very dos like with the little blue boxes ( you all know ).

so i went with it anyways, and chose my language and k/board setup, [problem 2] then it told me to insert the RH disc as if it wasnt there. thinking it may have been a corruption when i burned it to cd. i used VMware (full version) and tried to install from the image file itself. still same thing. so i was wondering before i downloaded the iso again, incase it was the dl that corrupted it, whether or not anyone else has come across this problem, if its the actual iso or if indeed it was corrupted during some transfer.

Thanks in advance - screenshot attached

maybe its a sign you shouldnt use RH :D

and no i personally have never had that prob, have you tried reburning the image to another cd? your cd rom can obviously read blank cds because it booted up from the cd ... so id try another cd

lol fyrewall, smart ass :p

hehe, well my next intention was slackware, but i wanted to get both running under VMware.. i mean, why not right?

[edit]I also tried installing it from the image, so it must be the iso. [/edit]

Anyways, any help would be appreciated :D

where did you download the iso from ... www.linuxiso.org i have never had a problem with.. thats if it is a corrupt iso

yea, it must have been a bad iso. more than likely during the download. oh well, i guess i'll just dl it tonight and get back to you guys tomorrow. :)

Cheers.

Check the checksum of the image before you burn/download another (search for md5 summer here or google) the checksum to compare should be posted where you got the iso. I actually do remember having the same problem with redhat9 but it was so long ago i am afraid i can't remember what i did to solve it or even if i solved it (i think i just said f8ck it cause it was just a lark). I would just install slackware, you will learn more and frankly its just plain superior.

Thanks lumpyporridge.

the hash's didnt match, and i'll asssume corruption during download. so i will do it again tonight.

thanks all :)

last night i downloaded the iso again, checksum ads up so all is good now. however im a little uneasy about putting VMware on again. http://antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=262340 see here for reason.

any suggestions? otherwise, i might just put it back on and if i have any problems remove it and live without it on this compy. Cheers all
