Ok, I downloaded the Redhat Linux 7.2 i386 .iso CD images from RedHat's FTP site. I opened the images using ISObuster and copied them to CD-Roms. Now, I can boot to the Linux boot.img file but after I select Language and Keyboard it asks for the CD-ROM, the CD-Rom is in the drive and I keep getting, "Could not find Red Hat CD-ROM" What is going on here, I wasted 8 CD's trying to fix this. How the hell do I install Linux? PLEASE HELP! I would GREATLY appreachiate it!

From the sounds of your "boot to the Linux boot.img" file that you have burned the cd and then used the rawwrite command to create a boot diskette from that file?

If so, the most likely candidate is that your CD-ROM drive is in some way non-standard. You didn't mention your hardware, but CD-ROM drives attached to odd-ball cards (e.g. not ATAPI or SCSI) such as a sound card is the likely cause.

If you have a standard CD-ROM drive, then the most likely candidate is a bad ISO burn. To ensure that isn't the problem, buy a set of RH from cheapbytes.com (<$10) and try that.

In order to get the ks.cfg from the CD-ROM, you either have to put the ks.cfg file in the initrd.img, or get a fixed loader.
