See > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO-3.html#quickgu ide for some details. It really comes down to mounting the CD on another PC or copying the files from the CD to another machine and then serving those files via FTP, HTTP, or NFS, and then using a network install boot disk on the machine with a bad CD reader. Here's another link about setting up the server to serve RedHat install files: http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/Network-Install-HOWTO-6.html and here's a link on making the network install boot disk and using it: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-steps -install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-DISKS Let us know if you have more questions! Good luck!

I get through the first CD, but I get an error after I insert the second CD (Unable to Mount CD). Has anyone run across this problem before and is it hard to fix? Any help would be much appreciated.
