Dudes I have downloaded redhat 9, all 3 iso from redhat. I used ISO-Buster then burned them to cd rom. I then set my PC to boot from cd rom but this did not work grrrrrrrrr. I made the boot floppy disk all good, but when it gets to the point of install the system tells me I've not got Linux in the cd rom, but I have. I know to all you Linux user this is easy but I’m pulling my hair out. Can some one help J
Did the image burn correctly? Most likely it didn't burn correctly or might have just burned a big iso image file on the cdr instead of burning it as a iso image.
Might also want to check the md5sums too before burning, to ensure that the files you downloaded match up exactly with the originals so their not corrupted in any way.
Where did you download the iso's from? And when your burning from nero, can you view/explore the contents after the burn in Windows, do you see a large iso file on the cdr or a bunch of files and directories?
Also, anything else you've tried might want to mention since you tried the md5sums before hand but not mentioning it fully, etc.
No problem muos - linuxiso tends to be a few days behind the distros main servers (I had to wait a week for RH9) but there are a few sites to choose from for each distro.
I would recommend checking the md5sums before cutting the install disks - it's better to spend the few minutes checking first rather than the hours of trying to install and then finding it's the download that's at fault (he says, speaking from experience!)
What are the shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso, shrike-SRPMS-disc2.iso, SRPMS-disc3.iso, cds for? Do I need them for the generic redhat 9 install? What do they do?
Originally posted by synapticrelease Do i need all 6 isos to install this?

the SRPMS isos contain source code.
you need only the first three disks to install rh9.
Muos ive got the same problem man, when i try to install it asks me to insert the install disc and my cd-rw locks up??? did you find a solution??? its really doing my head in
Make sure you have downloaded and burned the i386 iso images and dot the SRPM images. Make sure cdrom is the first boot device in the bios. If asked for extra parameters at startup try "hdc=ide-scsi".
