Hi All.

I want to install Redhat 3.0.3 from a DOS partition. According to the
INSTALL doc for Redhat you can download ll the RPMS into a DOS partition
as it will fix the DOS 8.3 Filename limitation.

Well looking at the RPMS Packages I think not. You have XFree series that
about 8 will end up with the same name under DOS, there is also the
Imagemagic series (2 files) that will end up with the same name under DOS,
and the list goes on.

How do you get around this problem???

Regards..
