<DIV><SPAN class=050043823-14062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get everything
from Import Errors (/usr/lib/librpmio-4.6.so: cannot read file data) and
(/usr/lib/liblua-5.1.so: cannot read file data) to Formatting problems (An error
occurred trying to format VolGroup00/LogVol00). I have been using the text
mode to install as the graphical mode freezes. I have even gotten as far
as the screen where it asks to pick the install package (office productivity)
before it fails - this has only happened twice. It usually fails well
before this step. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as I am
becoming very frustrated and disillusioned on my failed attempts. I have
checked all of the forums and googled the problems and have gotten varied
answers to each of the issues. None of these suggestions have
helped.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
