I know you are just trolling but...
It's not redhat's fault that you use a $%*@ed up OS that changes case on
files/directories. Try downloading it with a real OS that maintains case and
then try installing.

Alright...this may sound outrageous, and I'm not making a threat. To
tell the truth I'm probably doing this more out of frustration than reason.
After having serious trouble installing Red Hat 5.2 after downloading it,
I started to think that maybe there is a reason behind having to go through
all of this trouble. Most everyone I talk to say it is very hard to
install Red Hat from the hard-drive and just easier to buy the cd......see
what I'm getting at yet? I never had problems with Slackware. Well, I
might as well just come out and say it...You suppose that Red Hat does that
for a reason...I mean, the reason that I can't install Red Hat from the
hard-drive (according to many ppl in #LINUX) is that windows makes rpms
instead or RPMS and there is no way around it. So that means, I'll have to
break-down and buy the cd. I'm sure that Red Hat is aware of this
problem.......
I'm a LINUX newbie, and if I'm completely out of line I would like to
hear about it.......
Thanks for listening,
TripKill
