As has been replied to by a number of people - this is almost certainly
caused by bad RAM or a flakey CD-ROM drive. Have you been able to install
RHL 5.2 on this machine (and I mean install now - no point saying "I
installed 5.2 when it came out" since the machine may have been OK then).

This has nothing to do with the failure to install - the message comes
when you do not allow Disk Druid to do the autopartitioning (which it does
*only* when you select a server install).

But if you want to go to JDK 1.2 under RHL 5.2 - just install the bzip2
utility from the RHL 6.1 CD under 5.2, and use that to bunzip the jdk.
