hey guys.. i plan to add redhat8 to my win2k box.. i created a seperate 20 gig partition, downloaded and burned iso1-3 (of 5) and had no luck making the first iso bootable.. i searched around for redhat8 bootdisks but they are just a little to large for my 1.38 floppys.. im assuming the bootdisk file is a linux format and used to create a disk, rather than a single file used to be placed on the floppy [from windows].. what must i do? also am i on the right path with the iso's? i just put the 3 iso's on seperate cd's with out any fancy style ie: image, bootable image.... etc...

if any of you are intrested i found an excellent govenment hosted ftp site which i used to download these files.. i had my cable line maxed out throughout the transfers at +/- 200 kbp/s.. the sites address is: ftp://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/pub/

Thanks in advance! -james

If you burned the iso currently, disk 1 should be bootable. You certainly can not just "put the iso on the cd" -- which is what it sounds like you are saying, but I'm probably reading you wrong.

What did you end up with on cd 1 after burning the cd?

yea thats what i did... simple copy.. the only file on cd1 is "psyche-i386-disc1.iso" how sould i creat these disks? tia -james

An iso is basically an image of a cd in a single file.

To create the disks from an iso you should use a program like easyiso, which is downloadable from various sites on the web (Just do a search for it).

Using easyiso, you supply the iso file and it then writes the image to a CD. After its done, your CD should contain all the files that the iso held.

Hope that helps

Are you burning the cd's from windows? If so, and you are using easy cd creator, just go to file-create cd from cd image, then point to the iso file you downloaded. You can also do it from Nero or whatever software you are using, the menu option will just probably be in a different place.

hey guys.. everything is up and running now.. thanks for your help!.. now if i can only figure out how to get my soundcard to work... i need to find a configurator to make sure 'digital output only' is selected.... -james
