I had a similar problem but mine kept failing at a different package. All I did (after many hours of trying several dozen different things) was change the RAM in the PC and all worked without any further issue......might work for you?

Hi Rune/ All, Did u get the solution to this problem of installation? I am also getting the same error while installing Red Hat Linux 8.0 on my machine. I am trying to install RedHat 8.0 from hard disk. I have placed all the red hat binary iso images on /dev/hda4 partition (in a long directory path /from_hyd_261002/ocean/RedHat8.0/Binaries). I am booting my pc with linux 8.0 boot floppy which I created using rawrite boot.img on win98 Installation goes fine upto 55% and then suddenly it gives following "Error" window and never proceeds beyond it even though I press return constantly. The error message I see is:- "The file /tmp/isomedia//RedHat/RPMS/openoffice-libs-1.0.1-8.i386.rpm can not be opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try again [OK]" At this point of time, I found that out of (Total) 1463 packages to install, 829 (Completed) were installed and 634 were Remaining to install. The size of this package was 125268k. I thought that this might be a stray error and tried to install 5 times, but the installation got stuck for this package for three times, where installation got stuck once for kernel package and once for kjots-3.0.3-3.i386.rpm. May anybody please help me resolve this problem? Thanks in advance.
