4. Preparing RedHat CDs

NoteNOTE
 

If you already have Red Hat Linux CDs, skip this step. Otherwise, read this step to learn how you can get them for free.

  1. Logon to a Windows computer that has a CD Writer drive installed and setup properly. Insert a blank CD-R into the CD Writer.

  2. Point your browser to the Red Hat Web site: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/iso/i386/.

  3. Browse and locate disc1.iso (actual file name may be something-disc1.iso), and save this file to your Windows desktop.

  4. Right-click on the iso image created on your desktop and choose "Record to CD" It will then write the iso image onto your CD-R and create disk-1.

  5. Repeat the procedure for the second and third iso files (something-disc2.iso, something-disc3.iso) at ftp.redhat.com/pub.

  6. Test to make sure your CD-Rs are indeed readable. If you click on �My Computer� and click on the CD Writer Drive icon, you should be able to browse the contents of the CD-R.

  7. Label the CD-Rs properly: disc-1, disc-2 etc.
