Hi here is a nice newbie question for everyone.I have three iso images of Red Hat 7.2 Enigma two install disks and one docs disk - i copied the images from linux format dvd to hard disk and then to cds expecting to be able to boot off them and install red hat on my laptop.However, all I have is the iso images on the cds and not the files I was expecting.Can anyone enlighten me.I was using gCombust to write the disks by the way.

click the burn tab and choose 'ISO9660 image'...

mind yuo i've not tried that, i'm abuot to use that to burn rh72 aswell...

I've re-checked my cds and they do in fact contain all of the files BUT, my Matshita UDJA710 CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD drive is not recognising the iso filesystem.
I have checked in my fstab file to see what entry is there for my cd-rom and iso9660 is set as the file system for this device yet it is not seeing the individual files and booting.
If anyone can throw light on this I would appreciate it.

If you're having problems actually booting from what appears to be a bootable CD, then either your BIOS doesn't support this feature (highly unlikely); your BIOS is not set to even look at the CDrom drive to boot (quite easy to miss, that one); your CDrom drive does not support booting (hmm, not sure about this one, I think it's only relevant to older CDrom drives); etc; etc.

If you have real trouble, then why persist? Why not just make a boot-floppy and use that to boot, and then install from the CD? I would have thought that you could probably even boot from a floppy and install over the network from the .ISO images on your HDD.
