just to be different, i thought i'd try a HD install for the first time. i don't have the docs in front of me, but if memory serves, all that's necessary is to put the ISO images in a partition somewhere on the HD, directly under a directory whose name is "RedHat". if, in that partition, the ISOs are in the directory /a/b/c/RedHat, the directory name i'd feed as the location of the ISOs would be just /a/b/c. is this about right? anyone done this yet? rday -- Robert P.
