Hi, Glen:
Usually, this means a mismatch between the iso image version and the
boot floppy version. The psyche images are definitely the right ones, so
the question becomes where did you get the boot floppy image?
Unfortunately, we have not put them up on the speakup site--mainly
because we never intended to keep the psyche iso images around as all of
this is now fully supported by Red Hat.
I guess you might have used the links in the HOWTO to create the boot
floppies? That would be my fault for not thinking that through earlier.
Those links are also to the oder version. I'm very sorry to put you
through that. Fortunately, downloading a floppy diskette image isn't
anywhere near the trial of downloading a full CD ROM's worth of data.
Why not try an official Red Hat mirror site? Here are a few to choose
from:
ftp://ftp.cs.buffalo.edu/pub/Linux/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/images/
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/redhat/8.0/en/os/i386/images/

Hey Janina, Glen, and anyone else following this thread.
I haven't yet burned my RH 8 disks to cd but asumming there is an /images
directory in cd 1 the way there has been with past RH releases as a
suggestion to Glen, asumming he didn't corrupt the images by forgetting to
download them in binary mode, why not just create the images using rawrite
and disk 1 of the rh 8 cd set. At least this way there won't be a version
miss-match unless I'm miss-understanding something.
Hope this is helpful.

|There very definitely still is a /images directory on the first CD ROM.
My suggestion to Glen was based on my recollection that burning CDR's
would be more of an encumbrance than downloading 1.5 megs of data.
Also, I don't think much of the "perhaps he didn't download in binary"
theory. He got far too far into the installation for that to be
believable.
