I tried giving the image a shot, but got the following error:
error 2 cpio: bad magic
It doesn't take more than about five minutes for my to pull the installer
ISO. You might want to look and see if you can find a more current version
of the installer. One thing I noticed is that when you get to the X config,
there's supposed to be a "test configuration" button, but there isn't. it's
not present in the Red Hat installer I've got, either (we're probably
working off the same original images); however, I have seen screenshots that
have the button. someone must have caught and fixed that glitch. who knows
how much more of that sort of thing there is.
Thanks for all your help,
michael

Hi Michael - this does look like the ioctl problem Martin was talking
about.
I made an (as yet untested) driver update disk for this with updated
DAC960, cpqarray, and cciss drivers that include the necessary ioctl at:
http://lager.dyndns.org/raid-dd-i686-0509.img
dd that to a disk and type "linux dd" or "text dd" at the installer
prompt.
If you feel like experimenting a bit, you might give it a shot. Easier
than downloading another 300MB+ iso at some point in the future. :)
Thanks,
-Eric
