It's a weird one that's for sure. I've used these CD's on a number of other 
boxes with no problems. RedHat 7.2 and RedHat 8.0 are more than happy to 
install on this box (Just tried 8.0 then).

I'm stumped on this one really. It doesn't matter much as I don't particulary 
want 7.3 on this box, but it was bugging me. I haven't really got the time or 
inclination to figure it out though.

Oringinally I posted about the CD's to add my experience with 7.3 installs 
after reading about dodgy magazine CD's. I thought I'd have it sorted out and 
could tell everyone how wonderful I am. ;-) Things just didn't go to plan. 
Then it started to bug me. Now, I don't really care anymore as I was only 
doing it to try sort out a SCSI issue which I haven't quite resolved yet.

What is bothering me is PCI conflicts with my SCSI card and onboard SIS 
graphics adapter. That's another story though...


Cheers all
Paul.
