>Maybe your networking somewhere. Replace the rpm or reburn the disk. A >disk can check good and still be bad! I don't follow you:) This is a kickstart install from a cdrom with a url line pointed to a repo. Its going across the wire for the bind rpm, that's why its using wget... I did not only verify the hash, but used another iso and tried a physical machine with a burned dvd. Same behavior. There is not a network issue, see the multiple wget commands and the results. - wget for a file on some other server works. - wget for the rpm appears to work, but the actual file is no where - wget for that *same* rpm, but with a -O foo works as well, but I now have a "foo" file to show for it:)
