Why not just grab the ISOs and upgrade through the Red Hat installer? You can do a hard-disk install without even burning the ISOs to CDs. Doing it that way is Red Hat-tested.
Can I do a hard disk install without any fancy (fancy being anything that needs to run at boottime) commands? All I have to start a hdd install is the RH 7.2 ISO's burned to disk, will they suffice?
Can you boot from a floppy? The isos have images for boot and driver floppies that you can copy off. Booting from there, you are prompted about where to find the install images.
I can boot from CD and do an expert install, which also gives me a choice of location.
To answer your question though, yes, I can boot from a floppy. To get those files though I have to do wonky mount commands (at least wonky in my opinion (I mean, come on, 'mount -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /mnt/point is wonky, ain't it? :-p)). I think I'll try the 7.2 cd expert install approach first. Good thing I'm only doing an upgrade. ;)
