well you simply don't HAVE that file.... simple as that. if that's what the error message says. mayb it has a slightly different name in /tmp or is in a different directory.

Remember that Linux is CaSe Senitive too.

/tmp/image.iso
and
/tmp/Image.iso
are two different files.

If you want to install linux using the hard drive method you will need to create an iso file for each of the CDs. As such:
mkisofs -o cd1.iso /mnt/cdrom/*

You will also need to create a boot floppy disk using the correct image file in the /image directory on the 1st CD.

The iso images needs to reside on a FAT32, ext2 or ext3(?) partition.

See the installation documentation at Redhat's website for details. www.redhat.com
