Hi I just got the Redhat 4.0 Archives CDs and am trying to install it.  The problem is that it
detects my CD drive but during the installation the files get corrupted.  So I think that it
is having trouble transfering large files from the Cd drive.  The drive is a Hitachi CDR-7730,
it contacted Hitachi and they said it should work fine as it is a standard IDE drive.  It is
also configured as the primary slave and my HD is the primary master.  The CDs are fine as I
managed to copy the whole of the Redhat to my dos partition under Win95  and installed it from
there fine.  Has anyone else had problems with this?

One last thing two now when the kernel is booting and it starts the sendmail program it stops
and does nothing for about a minute before proceding.  Do I need to load sendmail as all the
networking I need is dialup ppp.

TIA
