It has not been fixed.  If you have a large-enough hard drive you
can download all the necessary packages and install from there.
Another alternative is to install Red Hat 7.1 and use alex_c's kludgey
installer.  Or you can wait until this summer when I/S should have
a more general installer for Linux-Athena 9.1.
