Never ever succesfully installed redhat on vmware via the CDs... this has always happenned to me.
But if you select the CD drive to mount the redhat iso's it will work fine.
used to happen on vmware 3 and still happens with 4.
not quite sure why this is the case but it seems to happen to many people who have tried to install rh on vmware from what I've seen.
seeing as mounting the iso's always works 'shrug'

At this point the install will let me retry

package and continue on. Is there any way to work
around this? The
md5sums of the .iso files are correct, so I don't
think I've had a
download problem.
Detail: I happen to be installing the software under
VMWare (version 3.0,
running on a Windows XP host). I've swapped the
.iso files by
suspending the virtual machine and "swapping
cdroms" by renaming the
.iso files on my hard drive. I've used this
technique many times,
and it worked for 20 minutes following the switch,
so I don't think
this is likely to be the problem.

Are you installing off CDs? If so, run mediacheck. I've downloaded ISOs, had MD5SUM work OK, but had a bad write to the CD and subsequently fail.
