[ltp] cant do a basic installation on tp 770E

[Jont Allen]

There are some serious problems with the RedHat 6.2 install disk.

Look at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh62-errata-bugfixes.html

for the details. Specifically, look at the updates dated April 19 and
April 12, 2000 (Anaconda Updates and Installer updates).

I hit one of these bugs because I had two NIC's in my machine
(a desktop machine). The installer never finished, and just hung.
