I have RedHat 5.1 on CD-ROM but I decide to download the new 5.2 version.
Since I'm not very familiar with linux yet I decide to do a totally clean
install of the 5.2 version I downloaded. So I have my partitions all setup
and everything seems ready for the new dos harddrive partition install. I
get to the dialog box where the setup tells me to put where my RedHat
install directory lies. Since it put it under my c: drive in C:\RedHat I
type in \ I get a prompt that says "scanning packages", then quickly after
that I get another prompt that says "Error opening directory" So I try a /,
then /RedHat, but nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same error.
So thus I cannot install RedHat 5.2 :( What am I doing wrong. I am sure I
downloaded all the install files correctly and set everything up right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt Bell
