FC2 installation fails installing XFree86

[sculler01]

hello

when i try to install FC2 test1 the installation fails with the
following error message:

“there was an error installing xfree86-4.3.0-45.0.1. 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'm trying to install to a 10GB partition, i've successfully installed
RH9 and then FC1 to this partition. i've attempted to install FC2 in
many different ways, including:
- overwriting the existing FC1 installation with FC2
- removing the partition with MS fdisk and installing FC2 to the 10GB of
raw disk space
- doing a fresh install of RH9 or FC1 to the partition, then upgrading
to FC2

every time the FC2 installation fails with the message above.

i've tried re-downloading the ISOs and burning fresh CDs, i've run the
media test and the disks pass.

any idea what i'm doing wrong or what else i can try? all suggestions
gratefully received.

best regards
eric
