he needs them on a drivers disk, which would be a floppy disk

Is it possible?

by $$$$$$$$$$ In reply to one more bit

Is it possible, on a system having two optical drives, to leave the system install disc in while installing drivers on the other? I think I tried this once a few years ago, before I knew enough to make any real trouble, and it did not work. But I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly, and I'm just barely curious about it at all. I'm having no end of "fun" with xorg.conf recently.

most installers

by Jaqui In reply to Is it possible?

are configured to use the floppy drive for drivers.
some will let you pick a specific device, if you booted into expert mode.

so yes, it's possible, but it isn't an easy task.

Doesn't RHE come with support?

I though Red Hat supported it's Enterprise products. Have you tried calling them?

If he purchased the package, yes

at least for the initial install. After that, it would depend on the level of support paid for.

It is my bet they did not purchase the package, so no support.

Do you require Red Hat?

by Neon Samurai In reply to Iam not able to install l ...

It sounds like you might be installing a Linux based OS on your own machine. Does it have to be Red Hat for some reason or will any distribution based on the Linux kernel work?

If this is just for you, I'd recommend trying a few of these before jumping into an enterprise package like Red Hat.

Fedora - the desktop community version of RH
Mandriva - vary nice rpm distro
Ubuntu - the current media favorite

All should be available on liveCD so you can install.
