I had the RH8.0 ISO images on /dev/hda4 (my /home). You need to make a boot disk using dd and the image file on the first CD (boot.img). The partition can be ext2, ext3, fat, or any other filesystem that the installation kernel recognizes (AFAIK). Alternately, if you have a copy of the disc 1 CD you can enter this line at the first RH Installation screen: linux askmethod (This is what I did, since I had burned my CD's and realized my CD drive no longer works well enough to trust for an install.) Note that you cannot tell the installer where to mount the partition containing your images. You must add this to /etc/fstab after installation (AFAIK). -Ryan -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0 / Kernel 2.4.18-14
