Got RH5 installed. The key was creating the boot.img disk from DOS. As you
suggested, NT4 somehow screws up the rawrite process.

PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAI
I don't think you are supposed to be sending messages to the list in RTF.
This will cause most peoples messages to be garbled.

One thing I've always found is that NT gets in the way of creating
bootdisks with Slackware, and I imagine RedHat's the same way.
NT (AFAIK) doesn't allow programs, especially DOS software, to
get at the hardware the way RAWRITE needs to. (Someone shoot me
if I've got it all wrong.)

I liked "Teach yourself C in 21 days", because I didn't know much about
programming before learning C, except for some BASIC and Pascal. It's very

Better solution:
tar -xzf thefilename.tar.gz
Then you don't have the larger, decompressed tarfile remaining behind.

tar xvzf somefile.tar.gz
Also, check out the man pages for bo
gunzip thefilename.tar.gz
then:
tar -xf thefilename.tar
