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 ID 897da 07a Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:samba-client ########################################### [100%] [root@197 RPMS]# rpm -ivh samba-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm warning: samba-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:samba ########################################### [100%]
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

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?
