Re: RH6.1 as ISO, How do you install it?

[Allix Primus <alleve idirect com>]

Actually there is a program called "win image" which lets you extract ISO 
files onto your hard disk. In the /dosutil directory of the extracted ISO, there
is an "autoboot.bat" batch file which you can execute to start the installation
process. No need for boot disks.
