Installation from harddisk from installation tree

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

Hi,
    I have RHEL 3 CD-ROM's. Can I copy the files from the CD to the harddisk
and create a structure to install linux ? I will have to copy the structure
to the XP partition and boot the CD using a USB drive. If there is
blank space on the hardisk then this installation should succeed ?? Can
anyone confirm this ?
I am referring to
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/LinuxGuide/redhat-hd-install.html

C:\REDHAT\
  |----> RedHat - a subdirectory of C:\RedHat\, so it'll be C:\RedHat\RedHat
           |----> RPMS         -- binary packages - important
           |----> base         -- small filesystem setup archives - important
           |----> instimage    -- image used for graphical installs
  |----> images                -- boot and ramdisk images - download
to follow this guide
  |----> dosutils              -- installation utilities for DOS -
download to follow this guide
  |----> doc                   -- various FAQs and HOWTOs
  |----> misc                  -- source files, install trees
  |----> COPYING               -- copyright information
  |----> RPM-PGP-KEY           -- PGP signature for packages from Red Hat
  |----> SRPMS                 -- Source RPMS for Red Hat distribution
(not really needed unless you want to build RPMs)




Thanks,
Mohan
