Mike, I installed 7.1 last night and had the 2nd CD issue read errors about
mid-way through. It gave me an option to retry - and it worked the second
time.

Could be you and I have marginal CD's. Try installing again or try reading
the CD using GMC or Explorer if you can. You may have a bad CD from Red Hat.

Good Luck,
Mr. Bill

| Has anyone installed RedHat 7.1? I just tried to
| install it and after booting from my RH 7.1 CD (which
| has installed all versions of RH since 6.0) The
| install says it can't find a RH install CD. It then
| told me to place a RH 7.1 install CD in the CD-Rom,
| all well and good. But I can't open the CD-Rom as the
| install has it locked.
|
| I then tried Mandrake 8.0 and it had no problems with
| the CD.
|
| Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe a bad burn
| but I was able to boot from the RH CD.
|
| Maybe it's just time to switch to Mandrake :)
