you punch REDHAT PRM A to your reader?  I think it needs to be F80.  At
least mine always are?

A look at REDHAT PRM A would be useful.  I'm surprised nobody asked for
it.  REDHAT CONF A also (There are big changes in the CONF file syntax in
RedHat 7.  They had me chasing my tail for six months).

I am doing my first Redhat install and cannot get the install going.  It
appears to me that the conf file is not being read.

This is my 191 disk

REDHAT   CONF     A1 F         80         16
REDHAT   EXEC     A1 V         25          9
REDHAT   PRM      A1 V         43         18

What am I missing?

Thank you.
