Accessing the install console on Terminal F2 I attempted to install the rpm manually and got the following error...
"error: /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/rpmdb-redhat-4 (See http://hat-4.ora-code.com)-0.20060803.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e..."
Isn't this exactley what the media check is looking at when verifying the contents of the installation disc? Why would media check pass in this case?
I am going to try once again to burn another CD and attempt the same steps. Who knows... maybe I will get lucky.
Regards, John
