    Hi,
    I recently decided to give a try to redhat.
    I downloaded the 3cds form the web, burnt them, so far so good.

    I boot with the 1st cd, I select workstation profile, everything goes well
    until I get to the xpdfxxxxx package. There seems to be a problem with it
    but I am stuck now, the install doesn't let me going further.

    This is really frustrating because I downlaoded an other set of disk #2 for
    the same result.
    Is there any way I can bypass this to continue the install ?
    What would be the procedure to install via FTP (I also tried but it didn't
    go to far !!!) ?

    Any interresring urls where to find docs/procedures/distributions would be
    also appreciated :)

    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    Cheers.
