Author Newbie here.. Red hat image files
beenframed

OK, I downloaded the monster image files for the latest red hat off their FTP site and burned the 2 images on cd's.

My question is how do I get the file unzipped? The image files aren'y bootable so I need to do something in order to get them to execute and install just not sure what? If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

The image files ARE bootable. You don't extract ISO files here. What you do is in your BIOS set it to boot from CD. Put CD #1 in your drive and it will boot from that CD.

Did you burn the CDs as a bootable ISO disk? I know EasyCD Creator 5 gives you an option to burn a CD as a bootable disk. If you didn't choose this option, the disk will not boot. (I also believe Nero's burning software also offers the option to make a bootable CD)

I use Nero to make my CD's and in there you click on File then Burn Image. It will show a browse window select the directory that has the ISO in it and select the ISO file. and burn...

Make sure you create CDs from these images and don't just copy the ISO images the CDs. Once you're finished you should see a directory structure on the CD, not a single ISO file.

I used Easy CD Creator 5 and chose the bootable Cd option. The Cd burned just fine but I dont see a directory in there. I burned one file the ISO image file after I burned it the cd now contains 2 files (BOOTCAT and BOOTIMAGE) but no directory tree. Any help here is appreciated.
