Success!
I have been able to burn the Red Hat CDs and Disc 1 did start-up automatically.
However, something seems to be wrong after the Welcome to Red Hat Linux message.
I select the proper language and keyboard and after a period I get the following message:
No Red Hat Linux CD was found which matches your boot media. Please insert the Red Hat Linux CD and press OK to retry.
RETRY just returns the same message. So I'm stuck.
I was sort of expecting a question as to where the installation should be placed but nothing like that ever showed up. I have approximately 1/3 of my 80 Gig HD unformatted and reserved for Linux. Someone told me to not format this portion of my hard drive ... that Linux would do it. Does that sound correct?
