when i try 2 install Red Hat 8 on my 95 (48mb ram, 2gig hd, not exactly the best but o well) it gets to the part where it installs the packages, then at some point during installation, it gives me an error like "Could not open <somefile>, probably due to missing file or bad media" but it doesn't always happen when installing the same package, once it installed 216 packages before giving me the error and another time it only installed 2. i'm a total to linux so can some1 plz help me out?
thx in advance
I suggest you get yourself a new set of installations discs, but this may not be worthwhile since Redhat versions from 9 and below are now legacy distros and you may as well get copies of Fedora or Redhat Enterprise Linux.

ok, i'm dl'ing Red Hat 9 now, do u think thats new enough?
Redhat officially ended support for Redhat v9 in April or May 2004. It will still work, but it is no longer supported, and hasn't been for almost a year. Redhat now offers RHEL (which you have to pay for) but also offers Fedora (which is the traditional free Linux distro).
i've tried all of you guys's suggestions, as well as other distros and still get he same error. i read somewhere on here that someone else had the same problem, and fixed it by replacing the IDE card, but i don't have an IDE card, my hd connects straight to my motherboard(its 1 of the old split ones).
should i still get an IDE card and connect my hd through it?
