I installed Redhat 5.0 (as a newbie) some days ago (no problems there).

after fooling around a bit, I decided to make a fresh installation, in
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY like I did before :

the installation-set is on my 2nd harddrive (400 MB), (/dev/hdb1)
I boot with the 2 installationdisk (boot-disk + supplemental)
I create the necessar partitions on my first harddisk (1 GB) with Disk Druid
(/dev/hda..)
it formats the swap-partition without any problems,
when asked, I give the path where the redhat-distribution is located
(/redhat)
and when he starts scanning the available packages, after a while he gives
messages (corrupting the installation display) like :
"install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 11"
"sending termination signals ... done"
"sending kill signals ... done"
"unmounting filesystems ..."

and so on ...

any comments or a solution for my problem ??


thx,


Lightningbit
