Hi I'm lost, I'm trying to install redhat 9 from iso image from the hard drive fat32, I readed someplace I have to boot from a floopy but I can boot from the hard drive from the dosutils/autoboot.bat from the first cd and this works, but when I go into the setup select hard dive installation Method and select "/dev/hdd1" and enter where I have the iso image "/redhat" (with out the ") it gives a message "failed to read directory /tmp/hdimage//redhat:no such file or directory" then clike ok and another message comes up "device /dev/hh1 does not apperar to contain Red Hat CDROM images." I try to extract all the iso images into the folder and just the iso images, but no luck, any clus on what I'm doin wrong?

HI rushhh...

Try this link:
http://www.thinkdigit.com/howto.html

This would guide you exactly what you have to do to install from a HDD... Besides, what you have done above seems right. However, where you propably might be going wrong is specifying the *.iso locations!
Anyways, try this link! Am sure it would help you. If still in problem, I'd check this tomorrow too!!!
GoodLuck

Have you tried "redhat" instead of "/redhat"?
