Okay, here's the deal. I went to TLDP to look for info for the instructions on how to make a boot disk from the boot.img from the iso (after I mounted it, which was way cool, just wish I could have ran the installation right then and there) image. I found the file and read the readme in the directory and nothing. I searched RedHat's site for instructions on what to do with the file, nothing from them except a link to download it off their web site. So now I ask, do I just copy that file to my floppy disk and reboot, or is there a command that I run (the only indication of there being a command came in the mini-install howto's, and they never actually went into what that command was, unless I just missed it). I'd be very appreciative if someone can at the very least point me in the right direction.I have decided to attempt to upgrade my current system from 7.2 to 8.0 by using a second hard drive as the repository (and mount point) for my ISO images (which I'm downloading now (I launched Opera with root privileges so that I can save to a hidden directory on / )).I have only one question, after reading over the instructions on the RH web site ( http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html#write ) I'm curious as to if I have to make a boot disk and reboot they system. If not, does the installer start right up after I mount it using the commands given ( mount -o loop -t iso9660 <isofilename> <mountpoint>) or do I have to execute a file from within after mounting the ISO file?
