All my network cards are Intel PRO/100 S. When I try and network boot, it gets a DHCP request, and everything seems to be going smoothly. Hundreds of files names scroll down the screen. It looks like it is done, since the last file is /usr/lib/locale/ar_SA.utf8.LC_NUMERIC. It is then followed by the error at the bottom of this email. However, through talking to someone from the sisuite mailing group, I thought the problem was that my server is a P3 and my clients are all P2s. So, I tried doing the whole install process again from scratch with a new computer. I am now getting stuck before the Oscar Installation Wizard shows up. The log file for that is in one of my emails. I was told it looks as though, I haven't copied the RPMs from the RedHat 8.0 CDs, even though I actually have. I check the /tftpboot/rpm directory, and they are there.
