I have a bad CD Burner.  Maybe both can work together?

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:

Subject: [brlug-general] Unable to Mount CD

 

I am new to the Linux and am trying to install Red Hat 8.0.  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.
