Linux on VMWare: ran out of input data
 

Hello,

I try to install red hat 9 on a vmware virtual machine on Windows XP. As I start my virtual machine, the red hat CD is regcognized and I type: "linux text" to start the installation.
But, after a short time, I receive the message;
"ran out of input data"
and the installation stops. :(
Any hint??
