Hello,

I want to install and learn Red Hat 9.
I downloaded the 3 shrike iso images from the Red Hat site: the first one seemed to work fine and I burnt it to CD without problems. I used Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum with the latest update, then went to Data CD --> File --> Make CD from image.
Windows sees the CD but then I booted from it and did a linux mediacheck with result fail, I also tried to burn the 2nd. image to CD but got two failed attempts from Easy CD. So far 3 wasted CDs.
Then I tried to make a boot diskette but the bootdisk.img file is too big for a diskette, it has 1.4 MB and my diskette takes only 1.38. I want to to check the images with the md5sum command but don't know how to do this.
I downloaded the images to a folder in a FAT 32 partition.
I don't just want to order the CDs, because it should work by downloading and burning them.
Also, I tried to download via FTP but can't get to the FTP site, I am just copying the address from the Red Hat site and pasting into WS FTP LE usern: anonymous, pass: my e-mail but no use, the connection keeps failing.
Please help, thanks.

Also might be an idea to use the bigger 700MB CD's to burn it on. Also you could invest in some rewritable ones, might save money in the long term ;-)

Always make sure you've got CRC Error checking (hardware prefereably) turned on for your modem if applicable.

The bootdisk.img file should write onto a blank floppy...you are using the rawrite program to write it, not just copying it across?

Re FTP, you should just be able to type the FTP address in your browser URL address field and then download the files you want by clicking on their icons.

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386
