Hi all,
I got my installation aborted yesterday, I chose all the packages, but I got
an error when Samba was being installed. The msg said that my CD 1 was
damaged, and the installation was aborted.
When I upgraded to beta1 from RH 9, I was using CDs that were starting to
go bad (about 15 hours after burning them!), and I had the same problem, but
was able to finish the upgrade by restarting the installation, selecting
"upgrade existing installation", and the install picked up where it left off.
I was getting sporadic read errors, and it was able to successfully read the
same package the second time. I had to restart twice, since I got the same
type of error on a later package, also.
Using the same CD I chose a' Workstation' installation and it
finished
successfully.
Today I checked the checksum of the ISO files that I downloaded and with
md5sum
and the checksum was the same as the one included in the site I got
these files. I also
mounted the CD1 and installed manually Samba, but I got some warnings:
[root@197 RPMS]# rpm -ivh samba-client-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm
warning: samba-client-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key

This is normal. After doing the install, I got the same warning when adding
packages later. You can get rid of it by going to
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/security/news/publickey.html
and downloading the GPG key 897da07a.txt under the "Beta Package Signing"
section, and importing it with "rpm --import 897da07a.txt". This isn't why
the installer aborted.
That was the reason the installer aborted the installation yesterday?
