New Re: Got em down - burned 2 CDs but ???


I gather these aren't bootable CDs - is there a boot diskette image somewhere (on disk 1 ?).

Is there an easy way for me to set up a bootable version of the CD ?

Cheers

Doug

New How to boot Red Hat Linux 7.2
Go to the DOSUTILS directory

find a file named "RAWRITE.EXE" and run it from DOS or Windows 9X/NT/2000/XP whatever and then give it \\images\\boot.img for the file name and then A: for the floppy drive and it will create a bootable floppy disk.

Looked at my RH7.1 CD & it has images & doutils but the 7.2 ISO image doesn't - that explains why I couldn't find it.

Need to think this one out further, but am assuming a 7.1 image will allow me to do an install from these 7.2 CDs.

Cheers

New Not a problem
just copy those DOSUtils to a directory on your hard drive to be used in a DOS command prompt (possibly on your path) to run to get the Image Files.

Have a good time being MS-Free if you get Red Hat Linux 7.2 and Star/Open Office to work! ;)
