I am trying to setup an area on our network to run FTP installs from. We have an FTP server and I have copied the three installation CDs from Redhat Enterprise ES CDs to the FTP site. I boot from a boot CD, and connect to the FTP server and attempt the install. I get through thte install until the point it starts to read packages and get this error:

Unable to read header list. This may
be due to a missing file or bad media.
Press <return> to try again

Can someone point me to what file it is looking for and how to fix this?

thanks,

to do FTP based installs, i would recommend copying the contents of the cds to a directory on the ftp server, instead of the ISO files themselves, overwrite whatever files conflict

for instance, mount cd 1, then
cp -r /mnt/cdrom /path/to/ftp/root

then umount, and repeat for other cd's

then specify the location, and it all should go smoothly
