install startup for RH8

Comment:
I tried to install RH 8.0 and as it would begin to setup it would stop at "blk: queue" then some numbers and "I/O limit 4095 MB" then appears to freeze. HD and CD-ROM both stop working. Could it be a scratched CD or is my partition too big (it is 5900+ MB).

BTW, I don't think it's a disk that's too big - I have 40 gig drive on my machine and no problems....

What kind of horrors are you talking about? True, xmms doesn't work out of a box but you can fix that real easy... Either download mpg123 (rpm) or the source and build it for the system.
