[CLUE-Tech] red hat install freezes

[Dave Hahn]

I've had media that passes the media check fail to install.  Interestingly
enough, I've had far fewer RedHat install failures with the text mode then
with the Graphical install.  Any more I always use the text install and save
myself the headache.

This morning I completed downloading 8.0 and cheerfully started the
installation process.  I ran the media check on all 3 CDs and they passed.
The install broke down part way in CD 1 with a media error (I stupidly did
not transcribe the exact error message).

This is a computer I built with mostly new parts, including motherboard,
processor, and hard drive.  I error checked the hard drive.  It does,
however, have an elderly 12X CD reader.  I wonder if it could be the source
of this error?
