Boot methods

 There are several methods that can be used to install Red Hat Linux.
 Boot CD-ROM
 Boot Diskette
 Driver Diskette
 Installing from a CD-ROM requires that user have purchased a Red Hat Linux
product, or user have a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, and they have a CD-ROM
drive.
 Most new computers will allow booting from the CD-ROM.
 If your system will support booting from the CD-ROM, it is an easy way to begin a
local CD-ROM installation.
 User BIOS may need to be changed to allow booting from your CD-ROM drive.
 Boot CD-ROM
 If user can boot using the CD-ROM drive, they can create their own CD-ROM
to boot the installation program.
 This may be useful, for example, if user are performing an installation over a
network or from a hard drive.
 If user choose to create a boot CD-ROM, it will not be necessary to create a
driver diskette.
 If user cannot boot from the CD-ROM drive, the following alternative boot
method is available.
 Boot Diskette
 If user need a boot diskette, they must create it.
 A boot diskette will be needed if user cannot boot from the CD-ROM.
 It can be used to boot from a network, block, or PCMCIA device (user will
also need the corresponding driver diskette for their booting scenario).

 The boot diskette image file, bootdisk.img, is located in the images directory
on their Red Hat Linux CD-ROM.
 If user choose to create a boot diskette, they must also create the appropriate
driver diskette if they are installing over a network or from a hard drive.
 Driver Diskette
 If user are performing anything other than an IDE CD-ROM or hard disk
installation and are using a boot diskette, they will need at least one driver
diskette that user must make in advance.
 User will be prompted by the installation program to insert the driver diskette
at the correct time.
