Sure enough! It fails on the same packages every time. I checked the Installation CD #1 and it has a divot! The plastic sleeve has an identical divot! Thanks to UPS and the not so great shipping package! FTP download of 9.2 from either site estimates 23+ hours. I'm on a T1 line so I'm sure its not my side of the net. I downloaded V10 ISOs in about 1+ hours. Thanks for the help. I'll be back...

Thanks for the reply. I switched the CD ROM that was really slow for a 52X SAMSUNG. I came up with the same errors only faster in 9.2 The CDROMs appear to be readable. The MDK 10 .0 disks (1 and 2) were unreadable in the newer CDROM drive. I find it very strange that MDK Move will work but nothing else. And I just love the help on Dell's website... In effect the intallation help (for MDK 7) says Insert the installation CD and click "Install" DUH!

Newbie to linux. I can't wait to get this going. I purchased MDK 9.2 CDs and manual. Upon installing I get thru the initial installlation screen, language/license/mouse and partitions (/ 5.8GB /home 30GB) I've tried installing several packages and the most basic limited install and get to the same problem: Error Installing Package bash-2.05b-14mdk.i586 If I ignore and go past it, I come up with about a dozen of these errors on various packages and at the end of the install I get a failure to install required packages error and back to the select packages screen. MDK 10.0 won't run CD1 or CD2. I checked the MD5 checksum OK on all three. MDK Move runs! I can open various office type applications. When I configured the network I was able to browse the net. After closing the browser, no other apps would load or run.

We want to set up a web accessible CRM program and I DO NOT want to go with any M$ software on this one. Thanks, Jim
