shrike-i386-disc1.iso is the first of the set of install disks for machines running on the generic i386 architecture. You need all of them to complete an install, generally. shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso is the first disk in the set of source rpm disks for shrike. The best way to resolve this problem at your apparent level of experience is to buy a boxed set with the printed manuals. Then sit back and read the manuals cover to cover. (Some parts can be scanned rather than read so that you know where they are in the manual when you need to dredge them up later. Others resolve all manner of various installation issues the average user might have.) Once you are more experienced with Linux and Red Hat installs it is more feasible to install from downloads. Doing it cold with no Linux experience, as you indicate, is annoyingly difficult. IMAO it is far better to avoid some of the annoyances with a boxed set than to subject myself to avoidable suffering.) {^_^} (And no, I have the decency and dignity not to "Yahoo!".) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dj Ramc" <djramc2000@xxxxxxxxx> > Hi to all .. > I'm a newbie in linux ... and I have a little problem > to install redhat for the first time.
