[newbie] Red hat installation problem

[Michael Khachiki]

Dear how ever

I am a new user of Linux. I purchased a Linux book some time a go which came
with three types of Linux which one of them was RedHat 6.0. I tried to
install RedHat and according to this book I had boot from A: drive??????
When I boot the machine successfully from A: drive I could not get RedHat to
Auto detect my CDROM? I tried manual detection and it asked for parameters
that I did not know about (IRQ interrupt and etc). Can any one help me with
this problem? how can I get Red hat to recognize my CDROM????

regards
