>Does anyone know how to create a bootable CDROM of RedHat 6.0?
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/RedHat-CD
The major benefit of this method is you can cut a CD that has
the newest patches on it, etc. But.. you have to download the
whole thing which is like 600MB off Redhat's site (or one of
their mirrors).
>Or where I could get an ISO Image of the CD?
At the last LinuxWorld, I asked the Redhat FTP maintainer why they
don't offer an ISO for download and he said that they felt that
people would consider this as an offical ISO and that they would
then deserve support. I don't agree with them but this is what they
said.
Also note that you can BUY a RH6 for only $1.99 from www.cheapbytes.com.
They also sell books, etc. They rock!
>If I get the ISO image, can I just burn it, and it'll be bootable?
Yup.
If you can find anyone who has a redhat 6.0 CD, have them do the
following (I don't know if this is pirating software or not):
1. mount the RH6 cdrom normally
mount -t ISO9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
2. run "df" and note the # of blocks the CDROM size is.
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/scd0 593624 593624 0 100% /mnt/cdrom
3. Unmount the cd
umount /dev/cdrom
4. copy it (make sure you have the disk space)
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/path/redhat60.iso count=593624
5. Thats it! Now you have an ISO that any Linux, Windows, etc
CDR program can burn. It will be bootable, etc.
