Here is a bit of information that may help some people if they are having this particular problem installing RH.

I was trying to install 7.3 but when I came to installing the last few packages to install, the installation asked for cd 3. I would put in cd 3 but I kept on getting the error "that is not the correct cd". After some digging around, I found out that the timestamp of the last ISO was different than the other 2 cd's. All three ISOs were downloaded from the same site.

To fix the problem, look on the cd for a file called ".disc1-i386". The contents of that file will be similar to "1024014876.906127 Valhalla 7.3 disc1" (all on separate lines). Copy that file (changing the appropriate information for discs 2 and 3). onto the respective discs.

Pop the cd in and you shouldn't have a problem.
