I decided to install Fedora Core 2 in place of the RedHat 9 I had been running. I ordered the CDs from CheapBytes, backed up my important files, booted from CD 1. Got through the initial screens (asking what type of install, disk partitioning, etc), formatted the drive, started installing the files.
Got into "Installing packages", when an error box popped up reading "ERROR INSTALLING PACKAGE: There was an error installing glibc-common-2.3.3-27. This can indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try your install again."
I did run disk verify on CD 1 (the one reporting the error) and it vrified just fine. In case it might be a hardware issue I replaced the hard drive witih a brand new one (60 GB, so space shouldn't be an issue), get the same error. Replaced the CD drive with a fairly new DVD/CD drive, same error.
Any ideas? I'd really like to get this machine back up again.
