Help, I am trying to upgrade from RH 7.1 to RH 7.2


I download enigma-i386-disc1.iso and disk 2 and then made my rh boot disk by typing dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0/ bs=1440k and the boot disk worked. It starting asking for language, etc.. and when it started to read off the cd, it said something like, error noat a valid redhat disk. I am not sure what is going on. I have been able to upgrade form ealry RH 6.x to RH 7.0 and RH 7.1, but for some reason it won't let me upgrade to 7.2. Right now i am downloading disc one again and will burn another cd-r.

Do you know what i am doing wrong or how to upgrade to 7.2? I would not even mind a fresh install.

Thanks

probably a bad burn.. and also make sure when burning to specify that your burning a iso image so it does burn properly. you can check the md5 sums for accurate burns too..
also, where are you burning the iso from ??

When i downloaded it form sourceforge.net this iso image worked. Some other people who downloaded the iso image from redhat had similar problems with redhats iso.
