my linux box again

[basher584]

These are the error messages I am getting for the CD-ROM when I try to 'cat' a
random package in the RPMS directory.  Am I doing something wrong or is it a bad
disc? When I tried installing RH6.9 it would load up but give me the exact same
thing as Mr. Coffee - When asked to insert the CD-ROM (Which I booted from) it
said it was not found.  Both of these CD-ROM drives work great for me..  so I
assumed it was the disk..

-basher584
