Re: H2 make ISO files from cd-rom - Vaio i.link cd - RH9

["E.J. Melzer" <ejmelzer yahoo com>]

Thanks for the anwers sofar. It gives me some hope that this RH9-system
will be working soon.

1. The 'dd' command that Guy advised does not work yet, because I have
only windows running on my machine sofar.
2. I tried the normal copying (with Windows explorer) and called the
three RH cd-roms 1, 2 and 3 and placed them on my hard drive.

When booting from floppy I get the question which partition-directory
holds the image. I choose '/dev/hda5/1', but than it comes back with the
message 'Failed to read /tmp/hdimage/1. No such file or directory.

What do I need to do different to get this running?

Thanks,
EJ
