Hello.

I have decided to install Red Hat Linux on my PC, I've got the ISO files from LinuxISO.org.

I burned all the 3 files into CDs, and started the installation process.

The first disk worked fine, but when i insert the second disk, after a while it tells me that a package (XFree86 Tools or something like that) is missing.

I tried to reburn the CD number 2 and i get the same result.

I also tried to pick Custom Installation, and removed this package but it still asks for it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check the MD5 sums of the ISOs before burning them?

iso's are readable under windoughs.

put in cd2
cd d:\RedHat\RPMS
dir XFree86-tools*.rpm

BTW, as described on linuxiso, RedHat is unsupported.
If you want "RedHat", download Fedora Core 3 or 4

Compare that number with the one in the md5 file in the same location that you downloaded your ISOs in the first place. The file will be called something like shrike-i386-disc1.iso.md5....if they are the same the file is not corrupt.
