8.0 problems.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123]

Hi,

     The only thought that comes to mind is that they might not have sent 
you8.0.  On disk 1, there should be a file called 
RedHat/RPMS/redhat-release-8.0-8.noarch.rpm.  If the version is anything 
else, that's your answer.  All installation methods use 
linux-2.4.18-14BOOt which can be found in the 
kernel-2.4.18-14BOOT.i386.rpm.


          HTH.
