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

[Harper Mann]

It sounds like a bad ISO burn.  

Try running the CD verification checks at the beginning of the install.

Ok, I also have tried Fedora Core 2 and I am seeing
the same problem.  I did the CNTL+ALT+F1 through F4 to
get to a virtual console.  I checked the install.log
file and see the following error.

Installing glibc-common-2.3.3-27.i386
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/lib/locale/da_DK.iso885915/LC_TYPE: 4147659c:
cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

I have looked online and tried once again a couple of
things.  Changed SDRAM, tried booting with linux
ide=nodma.  Still nothing.

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