So i got this book called "Red Hat Linkux Fedora for Dummies" and it
came w/ the source on DVD and I am getting an error while trying to
install. I'm currently using Windows XP 2002 Pro and know that my
computer exceeds the requirements for this install. I'm assuming it is
some sort of conflict w/ hardware, but I'm not sure where to go from
here. Here is the error I get:

running /sbin/loader
error 2 reading header: CPIO: Bad Magic
exec of anaconda failed: Bad addressinstall exited abnormally

Any help would be appreciated.
