A post script to this discussion. I had inherited this system so I don't know what work the previous system administrator did on this system. So I'm not sure where the ISO images I used came from. The Linux ISO was 64K and that was my first clue as that this file did not contain the necessary installation files. It may have been a minimal ISO boot file, but I was just not sure of it. Besides, I needed to install RHEL 6.3.
My advise to a system administrator is if you are not sure of origins of the ISO file, load your own to be sure. Thanks for the help mittim12
