Okay, i am running Redhat 9.0, but there is a program i must run and it only runs with Redhat 8.0. Ugh!!!

But i cant find where to download Redhat 8.0, i have looked through many sites including

I tried 3 or 4 sites at random on this page:

http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

And all of the ones I tried have multiple verions of RedHat available.

ok i think i found a version. now... how do i install it?

i already have RH 9.0 installed. Do i have to format the drive first? How do i do that?

Or should i just pop in the cd, boot and go from there?

Thanks,

I assume that you have downloaded the ISO files and burned the images in them to CDs.

If your machine will boot from CD-ROM, boot from the first disk. This will start the install process.

If not, you can make a Linux boot floppy from a Win32 box using software on the first CD.

Either product should have a feature called something like "Burn CD from image".
