hi gurus,
i just downloaded i386 iso images (disk 1-3) and already created bootdisk. i burned the iso to CD by just copying it over. i booted from the bootdisk then it ask me for the language, keyboard, and install source then i choose CDROM and its says it cannot find Redhat Linux installation CD.
Did i burnt it right? if not, what is the correct procedure of burning downloaded iso? i also downloaded SRPMS but don't know where i can use that for. I know my bootdisk is ok but not sure about my CDs. how can i check that? i tried to run "linux mediacheck" from the boot: prompt and it went straight through installation.
one last thing, i'm installating to my laptop Compaq Presario 2500 but don't want to use the internal disk as it contain my Windows XP so i attached a USB xternal 40GB drive which i plan to load with Redhat. From the hardware setup i can see the drive. i ddin't formated it yet as i was thinking that it will be redhat that's gonna do that. is there any issue with that? i can use that to load linux system right?
Appreaciate your help n advance.
Thanks.
