Redhat 9 install, error installing glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9

[Murle "Bubba" Meetze]

The system should have enough free space on it.  This
is a system that the only thing on the hard drive will
be Linux RH9.0.  I am going to try the other comment
once I get the chance to look at the install.log file.
 I tried once before, but it was where I had to create
a boot diskette and then boot the system up after a
reboot.  I never found the install.log file.  I am
going to attempt it again, possibly tonight.

Thanks,

Are you certain you have enough free space on the hard
drive?  The
pre-install check isn't really complete.
