I wanted to 1st look in the archives for my answer but
http://archive.redhat.com/search.html  says...
"Sorry, but the Broker on archive.redhat.com, port 8501 is currently 
unavailable. Please try again later."
Twelve hours later,  I'll ask you.

During an install of RedHat 5.1 from a clean, new CD.
After booting with an install floppy.
Editing the partition table with Disk Druid.
Trying the install with formatting and not formatting swap.
Trying the install with formatting and not formatting /  .
Selecting packages, saying yes to logfile.
The install halts; error message...
"Fatal Error Opening RPM Database"  
"OK" is the only option.  Clicking it results in an opportunity to 
reboot.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
