I've had similar problems with a 1.2 CD that I ordered and received last week.
The installer does not recognize the
YD CD. After copying the CD to a staging area and playing with NFS and FTP for
a while I found that the FTP install is looking for the files in /RedHat
rather than /YellowDog. After putting links on the FTP server from /RedHat/base
-> /YellowDog/base and /RedHat/RPMS to /YellowDog/RPMS the FTP install ran
through. Still can't boot with the installed root filesystem but that's another
discussion.
My assumption is that the CD is OK but the installer on the CD (in
bootfile.exe) has the wrong paths.
