I found the iso's off an FTP for Redhat 8.0, what do I do with them to get them on cd afterwards? Also do I need the extra file that is also in that directory? BTW, I have the latest version of the Roxio burning SW.

there are five ISOs. First three are binaries you would need all of them(but if you can narrow it down to exactly what you need, you can skip one or more them). the last two are souce files. Normally you wouldn't need any other files than the ISOs. This is entirely depedent on you hardware like if you have a wierd hardware that is needed to use a CD drive where the CDs are and so on.

I think, if you have some CD-burner software installed, when you double click the ISO file, it should lauch the burner app and you can follow the dialog.

After you've burned the CDs, copy the boot.img file from Disk 1 to a floppy. It'll come in handy in case the computer won't boot off the installation disk.
