Due to space considerations, some files were removed in the making of these CDs. Check sunsite.unc.edu if you cannot find something here. If you are mirroring to a partition or an NFS volume, you'll need to get everything under RedHat, as well as the disk images from images that you need for your system. ============================================================================ INSTALLING To boot this release you should use either MILO or SRM. From SRM, boot from the CD itself into aboot, passing the appropriate arguments. More information on SRM booting can be found on http://www.redhat.com. Once MILO has been installed, you can boot this CD as follows: boot -t iso9660 scd0:kernels/file.gz root=/dev/scd0 where file.gz is the proper kernel for your machine (see kernels/README for information). If you don't have a CD device attached, you must use a bootdisk and ramdisk, which are available in the images directory. To boot the bootdisk from the floppy disk, use: boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 and insert the boot disk when requested. ============================================================================ RED HAT LINUX MANUAL If you did not receive documentation with this product, you can order the manual from the Red Hat Software.
