---I am trying to install Linux Red Hat 9 on a IBM APTIVA, which as a AMD-K6-2 processor, 333 MHz processor speed, and 64MB of memory. When I get to the point in the installation where Linux is formatting the partitions and the installation image is supposed to be transferred to the hard drive, I get the following error "You are trying to install on a machine which isn't suppoed by this release of Red Hat Linux". Is this really true based off of the information I just gave or could there but another issue? In another attempt to install Linux, I tried to install it on a Dell labtop, which has Pentium 3 processor, 500 MHz, and 128MB memory. This time I can not install Linux from a CD-ROM so I try to use the rawrite utility to create installation floopy disk but when I use this utility nothing is copied to my floopy disk. What is the problem? I can get Linux on one of my machines?
Red Hat documentation is pretty good...
