I had a similar problem - I built a PC from spare parts I had, but did
not have a CD ROM drive I could put in it. I did, however, have access
to a (very) fast Internet link. I downloaded the entire RedHat
installation (about 250Mb) at work onto three ZIP disks, then restored
them onto a spare IDE disk at home. I then put this IDE disk into my
Linux-to-be machine (as a DOS "D" drive), and booted DOS from the main
disk in my Linux machine. Then simply run d:\dosutils\autoboot. You'll
need the secondary boot floppy if you do this, which you can make on a
Linux or DOS machine.
Hope this helps.
Keith
