Unhappy Linux CD burning blunder


Hi,

I have done a blunder. I downloaded the RedHat Linux 9.0 Disk 3 ISO file and the Documentation ISO file on my hard disk. I found that the Disk 3 ISO is for 480 Mb only and the Documentation ISO is 100 Mb.

To save one CD .. I appended the Documentation ISO data into the Disk 3 ISO and burnt onto a blank CD. Now when I try to install RedHat Linux and when it comes to the point where it asks for the Disk 3, it rejects my Disk 3 saying "This is not a valid Red Hat installation CD"... and there is no way I could proceed with the installation any further. I had to reset my computer. I cant even boot into Linux and install the Disk 3 contents separately....

Is there any way out ??? or is it that I have to burn the Disk 3 ISO solely on a new blank CD and Documentation ISO on another...

Mainak

an iso is an entire file system. you can't just stick them together like a text file or something.

Yes .. Exactly !!

But why isnt my Disk 3 being accepted by Red Hat installer...
It just wont read it ...

Is it because .. the checksum of the CD has changed ??
