[stew@rs6000 RPMS]$ du -h . 2.3G. And you definitely want glibc. 800MB is nowhere near a full respository of the typical 3 CDs of main. When you run gendistrib (you did do this right?), look at the output. You need to decide whether the messages it gives (if any) are important. PS: you don't need to CC me - I read the list and I get LOTS of mail already, I don't need two copies of everything.

I follow the list. Although CD is offered, as it's a stock install, it's not a true option with this pre-beta ISO. It doesn't sound to me like you're doing anything wrong prodedurally. If stage2 loads successfully from CD, but not from you network, I would next suspect corruption at the network source.
