Hi everyone,
Well I was able to get to some state of installation, however, I still don't have the booting working out yet. I wanted to relay that I found the following files off of the CD or ISO image, whatever where bad:

I basically copied all the files from CD to Windows 2000 directory and then copied over to my new linux partition using the LAN. I performed:
rpm --force -ivh --root=/mnt/sysimage --allfiles *
and had tried to redo the bad ones doing this:
rpm --force -ivh --nosignature --nomd5 --root=/mnt/sysimage gawk-3.1.3-3.i386.rpm
rpm --force -ivh --nosignature --nomd5 --root=/mnt/sysimage kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i586.rpm

I am confused that some were quite successful in building Fedora, however, I see from the emails that a lot
of us were not.
The question I have is what version of RedHat seems to be stable? I don't need the bleeding edge of
technology, just something that works.
A very frustrated, Chris Sparks
