redhat failure

[Richard Hubbard]

I think that is in the right direction.  In a related note, I downloaded 
and tried to burn the redhat 8.1 beta disks, and disk 3 kept giving me 
an error.  I finally used a 700 mb cd instead of the standard 650mb and 
it worked fine.  Your older cd drive may not recognise the denser format.
