It's about 65MB, which unfortunately makes it larger than the 55MB limit of the business card CD's I have access to, but it would still fit on a 110MB MiniCD had I been able to find one. Just for grins, I just burned it to a rewritable and tested it. It's basically like booting off disc 1 using "linux rescue", however you don't get the extra load of having a disc full of RPM's. Looking through it's tree, it apears to be similar to boot.iso (while using different startup screens) while additionally including the README's and RedHat/base/stage2.img. The startup screen specifically said Rescue, however this could be used to launch a kickstart or other type of network install as there was an option to launch into "install" mode as well (by passing just "linux" to the boot propmt (viewing isolinux.cfg confirmed this suspicion). That is odd that it hasn't appeared on the main FTP site. It is my understanding that this is (or was to be) a part of the boxed set (Professional?). Did RHN users get this iso as well? -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - rjohnson@xxxxxxxxxx Linux/Network Administrator - Medata, Inc.
