Ok, I'm the master of the exceedingly odd situations. What happened was:
Redhat changed the beta versions on the mirrors, as I was downloading them. The result was: Disc 1 was beta 1, disc 2 & 3 were beta 2. Redhat: How about putting new versions in appropriately titled directories, to avoid this in the future? It was pretty frustrating. I'm up on 8.1 beta 2 now. But getting here could have been a lot easier. ;) Ric On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 12:08, Buck wrote: > Do you have more than one installed cd drive or a cd and dvd?
