Tried to install using the CDs and when asked for the second CD, Red Hat installation kept saying that it wasn't the right CD. The CD was clean and read the 1st CD without any problems.

The book isn't really a crash course for someone who knows nothing. In my opinion it's a quick surface review for someone like me who has used Unix/Linux a while ago and needs some quick info to get my memory going.

To be honest I really only bought the book for the CDs and thought the book, would be a good refresher. If only the CDs worked I'd given it a higher rating.

So, I'm having the same problem with disk2. I'm looking around the internet to see if it's just me, and I find a review with the same problem. Apparently the second cd they're giving out is not what they were trying to package with the book, and it won't be accepted by the installation. Don't buy this unless someone else comes later and posts a positive response to the cd. Other than that it's still pretty hard to get the setup done with instructions that leave much to be wanted. I would imagine the book would be better and have more stuff, only I can't follow it because I can't install with the second cd.
