Hi Mathew, et al: >Louis> How do I do what you did ? i.e : > >1. Convert to iso images , and ; > >I had only windows on this machine to start with so I used a windows iso tool. Not certain how to do this under linux. See James notes for linux version.
Louis> I'm, the same here. My master PC only has Windows 2000. I want to try Linux 8.0 on this PC before I replace the slave PC RH 7.2 with this one. I'll search from Windows help how to do this iso thing. >2. Install using the hard drive option > >I will have to check this when I get home from work as I do not have the install cd's with me. I do know that it was done in text install mode. You can get to this by typing "linux text" at the boot prompt when the cd boots. I you can not see it there let me know and I will check it out. Louis> I thought with this iso thing, we boot from the harddrive instead. Is this correct ? You are right though, after CD has booted there is an option to install via text mode. I've never used it though. BTW: After having reading other replies from this, I will first clean my hard drive and the CDs themselves and see what this does. Last resort will be this iso thing.
