[H-GEN] redhat install

[Michael Anthon]

Hehehe... I know *just* how to fix it Paul...... clean my Redhat Linux CD and it should work

I guess you posted this before I arrived to save the day, oh well.  

But on that point, has anyone else had trouble with their (genuin) Redhat 4.2 CD?  Mine is very flaky and must be perfectly clean to work.

Regards
