Thanks for helping, but unfortunatly it doesn't solve the problem. The
redhad install disks (when you load up the RAMDISK Images) doesn't have
a /usr/sbin directory.

The Installation fails when it is copying the vmlinuz file from the boot
floppy to the HDD. and it fails on the command of:

rdev /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/hda1

with an error code of 255..

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
Phil Howlett.
