# Checking for Errata

Occasionally, revised diskette images are needed for the installation to work properly. In these cases, we make special images available via the Red Hat Linux errata listing. Since this is relatively rare, you will save time if you try to use the standard diskette images first. Review the errata only if you experience problems completing the installation.

Although most of the time it is not necessary to check for errata before the installation, it is also not a bad idea, either.

At the Errata page on Red Hat's website, located at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/, you can read errata online, and you can download diskette images.

If you experience problems, focus on entries that include new diskette images (the filenames always end in `.img`). If you find an entry that applies to your problem, download a copy of the diskette images, and create them using the instructions in Appendix D.
