RE: help on burning a bootable RH6.0 CDROM, again

["Hoover, Tony" <hoover sal ksu edu>]

I downloaded all the files from the redhat mirror, then used: 
mkisofs -a -r -J -l -L -o /redhat.iso /redhat
This made a disk that was not bootable, however I could use the MILO,
KERNEL, RAMDISK method to install from the CD.

PS. I used -J so I could read the HOWTO .html files on my NT machine.
