Re: help burning a redhat cd

["Sreekumar" <sreekumar cygnus stpp soft net>]

Hi,
I also had the same experience as Koos Werkman. Redhat 6.0 install program
complained
as no files found. The install program is not able to recognise the
directories and files in DOS
partition. While we do hard disk installation why installation program do
not recognise the directories in
dos partition? Is there a way to transfer files from dos partition to linux
file system during instllation?
Thanks
Sreekumar
