okay then installation is a breeze. But why are you interested in RH 8.0 Next came 9.0 and now fedora core 2 is out. Maybe you can try that.
Well installing RH is easy. just pop in the first instalation disk. When it comes to the partitioning screen, choose to manually partition and format two partitions. One as ext3-- this will be root(/) and the other as swap. Swap partition needs to be twice the size of physical RAM. taht is, if you have 128 MB ram, make swap 256 MB.
Next you install on the partition formatted as ext3, that is the /(root) partition. Also follow the link provided above and read some howtos.
Ask if you fall in troubled waters
