Install Problems



	I am having the hardest time trying to install RedHat Linux 5.1
I have downloaded 5.1 from ftp.lame.org.  I then created the BOOT and
SUPPLEMENTARY floppies using rawrite. My PC boots up just fine with the
BOOT disk, when I get to the Installation Path I select FTP, I then put
in the SUPP disk but I can't seem to get much farther than "Setup SCSI"
Sometimes I will get the SCSI prompt, other times I will get to the 
"DISK DRUID, FDISK" prompt but I can't seem to get beyond that.

	I noticed that the BOOT disk is DOS readable is the SUPP disk?
all I get is either an empty disk directory or "Abort, Retry, Fail"

	I have a really basic system, nothing fancy pretty bare bones..
Its's a Compaq Deskpro XE560, 8MB Ram, 250MB hd, 3Com Etherlink II 3C509,
SuperVGA video card.
