Hi Guys,

I'm trouble installing Red Hat 5.2.  I have a 486dx66, 24mb RAM and 2 HDs.
hda1 and hda5 are dedicated to DOS/Windows 3.1.  hdb1 is the linux root
partition and hdb2 is the linux swap partition.  I have successfully made
the boot floppy and supplimental floppy and they work.  I have been able to
partition hdb and format the swap partition.

I am trying to install from hda5 which has these directories:

    D:\REDHAT\BASE
             \RPMS

I have the all the files that I found at Sunsite in the BASE directory and
all of the RPM files in the base section of the comps file in the RPMS
directory except for LIBG++ and LIBSTDC++.  Netscape just will not save them
to my HD.  It must not like the ++ in the file name.

When I try to install, I get this message:

    Device hda5 does not appear to contain
    a Red Hat installation tree.

What is the secret trick to making this work?

Thanks,
