You can directly burn the iso file (you can look at
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html
to see where to download it)

You cannot directly burn a cd using Joliet, Redhat Setup looks for the
trans.tbl files in EACH directory to translate the 8.3 names to unix/linux
names....that's why the setup isn't finding any cdrom at install time

make a script or look at freshmeat.net
