KNOWN BUG
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For i386 DVD, x86_64 DVD, and x86_64 network install, After the packages 
are all installed, you will get the following error.

"Error running transaction
An error occurred while installing packages.
Please examine /root/install.log on your
installed system for detailed information."

It is safe to hit "OK", and the install will finish successfully.  If 
you look in the install log you will find that the jdk post install 
script did not run successfully.
