To find out if you have an older ISO, look for these packages:
up2date-2.0-4
usermode-1.35-2
LPRng-3.6.22-5

If you have an older ISO and you don't want to download another 650 megs
to deal with it, you should be able to use your older discs by choosing
"Select individual packages" during RPM selection, and then de-select
these packages:

System Environment / Base / up2date
System Environment / Base / up2date-gnome
System Environment / Daemons / LPRng
Applications / System / usermode

When the installer complains about dependencies, choose the third
option, "Ignore package dependencies"

The install should continue, and when your system is up and running, you
should go back and install the above packages from the Red Hat updates.
