I'm trying to install RedHat 4.1. I've downloaded the base &nbsp;files onto my DOS partition at c:\redhat\base, and the base <br />
series files to c:\redhat\rpms. When checking which packages are available, the base files are passed, but all other <br />
lines in comps are errored with 'package &lt;name&gt; at line <br />
&lt;no&gt; dne'. And after going through *every* line (~600) in<br />
comps it tries looking at the RPMS dbase. Then it says &nbsp;'Fatal error opening RPMS database'. What is wrong here? <br />
I downloaded all files using ftp binary mode transfer.<br />
The files in the c:\redhat\rpms are named eg setup-1.rpm,<br />
filesyst.rpm, etc. to fit DOS 8.3 format (ie truncated and<br />
file type extension set to .rpm).
