Re: Fwd: Help!! College Project due ASAP!!! How do I install REDHAT7.0 on...

[Ralph Slooten <ralph slooten quicknet nl>]

You can simply make a linux boot floppy under Windows by using the tool
included on the cd for this. You must know that all is documented from
Linux, and if you just read the instructions you would have seen,
step-by-step how to make a floppy. Once you have this floppy, simply boot
with the floppy in, and the cdrom in your first CDrom drive, and the rest
should be all pretty much straightforward.
