I'm not sure what to tell you there. I'm no pro on this either, but I do know the basics. I'd recommend the network install as well, as it seems that there is a problem with your CD drive. But again, I'm not sure, this is quite puzzling. <div>On 5/3/05, <a href="mailto:Lodolce@colorado.edu">Lodolce@colorado.edu</a> <<a href="mailto:Lodolce@colorado.edu"> Lodolce@colorado.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks for your suggestions. I tried burning the images at a low speed, no luck. With the most recent CD's it won't even load the installer, rather after it states "Decompressing Linux..." I get "crc error -- system halted". With another set of CDs once the installer loads and I go to start the install and I immediately get "error reading header...cpio:read failed" then it exits the installer. I have yet to try a network install. I only have a windows network around, can I do this through windows? Actually, I do have a machine running Redhat 9.0 though I do not profess to be fluent with linux. Any suggestions on where I might find a tutorial for a linux network install? I have Windows XP currently on one partition, and another data partition formated as NTFS. I am trying to setup a dual boot with FC 3 on the remainder of the HD (since good old microsoft isn't set up yet for 64bit processors). I've tried burning the install disks using various machines with the same result.
