install</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to install RedHat 9 on a laptop without
a CD drive. When I installed RedHat 8.0, I just copied all of the CDs
into a directory on an FTP server, and did a FTP install. So I tried the
same thing with RedHat 9. </FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>It was able to
connect to the ftp server, and download the stage two images, but I ran into
problems when it tried to download the package list. I get the error
message:<BR><BR>Unable to read header list. This may be due to a missing
file or bad media. Pres <return> to try again.<BR><BR>I have
copied the CD a second time to the ftp server, so unless the CD (that I
burned) itself is bad, I don't think it is a problem with the file. But
just to make sure, does anyone know what file the installer is hunting for,
and where it is on the CD? Can anyone think of other things that I
should try?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance for your help,<BR>--matt</FONT>
