[CentOS] Re: install issues

[William Warren]

https install is painfully slow(as i only have a 3 megabit connection) 
but it at least tries to install..after fighting timeouts and other 
connectivity issues.

32 bi installs fine..64 bit refuses to install saying i don't have the 
cd in the drive(irregardless if i am using cd's or dvd's.)

the https install has died 4 times now saying it's timing 
out..unfortunately the other 5 machines here are not having any issues.

I need a machine working pretty quick..if this is not solved soon i'll 
send this back and build one myself.

sincerely,
William Warren
