redhat 7.1 installation

If you are using Ez-CD creator software for your CDR it is fairly easy. From windoze explorer just click on the iso it will automaticly bring up ez-cd and you will be ready to burn the CD's. After you burn the Cds all you have to do is put in the first disk and reboot the machine it will bring up the Red Hat installer it is an xwindows based installer and very easy to install.

To Use this method you will need both RH7.1 ISO images disc1 and disc2 and approx. 1.2GB of space

Instead of wasting CD's you can install RH7.1 using the ISO images. If you have a seperate partition (or hard drive) put the images on the partition preferably in the root directory of that partition. (it is easier this way because you wouldn't have to specify the location of the images during the install process)

Once this is done go to an RedHat mirror and look for the rawrite.exe file and the boot.img file. It is normally under '//images/boot.img'
and '//dosutils/rawrite.exe'

Use rawrite to make a bootdisk with the boot.img file. Boot your system using the disc and instead of using the CD-ROM install option choose hardrive install option.

In my opinoin this is a much faster install method because you don't have to worry about bad CD's or anythign else that could go wrong with optical media.

Enjoy
