Redhat Installation Problem with Python
I'm installing RedHat 6.1 onto a Linux Ext 2 harddrive from a different harddrive with Win 98.
Using the new disk image, I boot and attempt to install RedHat via a floppy. I get through most of the set-up but it is aborted when an "Exception Occurred" during the installation of one of the packages:
/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-pa
name = h [rpm.RPMTAG_NAME]
Type Error: unsubscriptable object
I redownloaded all the Python RPM files from a different mirror. But I got the same problem. Oddly, I deleted all the Phython RPM files and I got the same problem.
I would really appreciate any help -- I've searched all the knowledge bases, others have the same problem:

Thanks in advance for your help!!
BTW, when installing from harddrive C: (with /RPMS and /base) to a different harddrive D:, RedHat is put on D: right?

Success:
First, I removed ALL non-RPM files from /RPM, included those downloaded from redhat.
Second, I replaced all the Python RPMs with Python RPMs from:
ftp://cronus.res.cmu.edu/pub/linux/ftp.redhat.com
I tried redhat ftp and several other mirrors and the Python RPMs were bad, however, the above ftp worked.

Hi qqeck...
I'm having the same problem too. I used the above ftp site like you did but the "python1.5" directory and all other files that was suppose to be in the "/instimage/usr/lib" were not there.
Could it be that the FTP master removed it?

hi again qqeck...
OK. I've checked the above ftp site again and those dirs. and files were slowly getting back up.
I need your help on this one, what did you actually download?
Thanks
