Relative to Karl's question, that wasn't the full list of files with problems.
The full transcript of the installation is included at the bottom.

Relative to the zip version bundled with FC3, 

	[]$ unzip -v
	UnZip 5.51 of 22 May 2004, by Info-ZIP.  Maintained by C. Spieler.  Send
	bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html; see README for details.

	Latest sources and executables are at ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ ;
	see ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html for other sites.

	Compiled with gcc 3.4.0 20040613 (Red Hat Linux 3.4.0-5) for Unix (Linux ELF) on Jun 22 2004.

	UnZip special compilation options:
	        COPYRIGHT_CLEAN (PKZIP 0.9x unreducing method not supported)
	        LZW_CLEAN (PKZIP/Zip 1.x unshrinking method not supported)
	        SET_DIR_ATTRIB
	        TIMESTAMP
	        USE_EF_UT_TIME
	        USE_DEFLATE64 (PKZIP 4.x Deflate64(tm) supported)
	        VMS_TEXT_CONV
	        [decryption, version 2.9 of 05 May 2000]

	UnZip and ZipInfo environment options:
	           UNZIP:  [none]
	        UNZIPOPT:  [none]
	         ZIPINFO:  [none]
	      ZIPINFOOPT:  [none]



I mounted the iso as follows:

	mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /usr/local/texlive/test-texlive2004-live-20041120.iso /mnt/texlive

If I look at /mnt/texlive/archive/bin-latex.i386-linux.zip, I get the following:

	-r--r--r--  1 root root 396 Nov 19 21:48 /mnt/texlive/archive/bin-latex.i386-linux.zip

If I unzip /mnt/texlive/archive/bin-latex.i386-linux.zip directly, I get the following:

	Archive:  /mnt/texlive/archive/bin-latex.i386-linux.zip
	    linking: bin/i386-linux/latex    warning:  symbolic link (bin/i386-linux/latex) failed
	error:  zipfile probably corrupt (segmentation violation)


Hope that helps.
