Hi, This one ought to be straightforward, but it isn't for some reason. I have downloaded the RedHat 7 (yesterday) - the RPMS etc, as recommended in the webpages. I want to install from my harddisk, but when I boot the wretched boot.img (and the others too) it can't find my harddisk. When I try, it wants to look for SCSI disks, which I don't have. I have a fairly standard IDE disk, master on controller 0, 10GB, and it has w2k on it's first partition (2GB), plus an extended partition with the downloaded distribution. The PC is a Dell OptiPlex GX110. So the question is - how do I get it to recognize my harddisk? If that is the problem. If only I could get out to a terminal during the installation, I might try a couple of things, like mounting the disk by hand, but it really shouldn't be necessary. /jan _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
