I would help if I were still in Nottingham - I run Red Hat 7.3 myself.
You could try building the iso from the burnt CD using 'dd' and then fixing it
up with 'rsync'.
mount /mnt/cdrom
dd if=/dev/hda of=valhalla-i386-disc1.iso bs=512k conv=noerror
rsync -avvpP rsync://redhat.dulug.duke.edu/redhat-ftp/redhat/linux/7.3/en/iso/i386/valhalla-i386-disc1.iso .
Both these commands are untested (I'm not with my machine right now...) so
they made need fixing / correcting. Rsync should use far less bandwidth than
downloading the full iso and so it shouldn't take a lifetime over dialup.
HTH,
Tom.
