Not easily with what is included in tomsrtbt. You would need to get
a utility called "setterm", which will allow that in text mode. It
*is* actually possible with what is included, but would require
you know the linux console escape sequences. That is, if you type:
^V^[[31m^V^[[43m
it would make your screen red text on yellow, but with setterm you could
do it with:
setterm -background yellow -foreground red
You might even then have to disable ile for it to stick.
tomsrtbt is intended for emergencies and recovery, it is expected that you
install a real-full-CD distribution for any work where you care about the
text color...

'mount /dev/fd0 /fl'
'cd /fl'
'ls /fl'
etc...

Maybe, but, I have never used red-hat, so, I don't really know.
You can probably mount the CD and access its files with no problem.
But, the red-hat installation may well not run under tomsrtbt.
If you are trying to install red-hat, you should try to get help
through their support channels and mailing lists.
