CentOS - Mar 2005 - Centos-4 install problem (xorg-x11-tools)

Everytime I try to install in vmware 4.5 I get the following error:

The package xorg-x11-tools-6.8.1-23.EL cannot be opened. This is due to
a missing file or perhaps a corrupt package. If you are installing from
CD media this usually means the CD media is corrupt, or the CD drive is
unable to read the media.

This package is on CD 2, and I have downloaded 2 different copies,
burned 3 different CD''s and I still get the same error everytime. The
MD5sum checks out on both iso''s.

Not sure if it''s a issue with VMware or not, but I have many other
OS''s
installed with no problems.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

--jesse

Skip the burning part altogether and just mount the ISO''s in vmware.
When a CD
change is requested, simply click on the settings of the virtual machine and
change the ISO to the next one.

I have not installed final, but RC1 installed under vmware 4.5.2 with no
problems at all.

Good luck!
Be well, TR

I just installed off the .iso myself. Worked like a charm.

if the md5sum checks out there is totally no point in downloading another
copy, it''s more likely you''re an alien than for two files
downloaded from
the internet from the same source to differ and still have the same md5sum
(it''s a 1 in 10^40 chance)
