Fedora files bad

[Chris Sparks]

Hi everyone,

Well I was able to get to some state of installation, however, I still 
don't have the booting working out yet.  I wanted to relay that I found 
the following files off of the CD or ISO image, whatever where bad:

I basically copied all the files from CD to Windows 2000 directory and 
then copied over to my new linux partition using the LAN.  I performed:

rpm --force -ivh --root=/mnt/sysimage --allfiles *

and had tried to redo the bad ones doing this:

rpm --force -ivh --nosignature --nomd5 --root=/mnt/sysimage 
gawk-3.1.3-3.i386.rpm
rpm --force -ivh --nosignature --nomd5 --root=/mnt/sysimage

I am confused that some were quite successful in building Fedora, 
however, I see from the emails that a lot
of us were not.

The question I have is what version of RedHat seems to be stable?  I 
don't need the bleeding edge of
technology, just something that works.

A very frustrated,
