I need to make a boot floppy for Redhat 9.0. I have to install from a floppy, I'm not able to install from cd. I downloaded rawrite.exe and boot.img from the internet. I ran rawrite and tried to make a boot floppy. I got the welcome to Redhat Linux and then got stopped at an error message. "No Red Hat Linux cd was found to match your boot media." I figure the boot.img I downloaded wasn't the correct version. Where can I find a 9.0 Redhat linux boot.img and rawrite.exe. I have two Redhat 9.0 Cds. However they are the Publisher's Edition which is an abbreviated version of the full Red Hat. Any help on making a viable boot floppy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I hope I didn't post this twice, sorry if I did.

Is there a boot.img on the first of the two CD's you have? You can check for this from Windows. Use the boot.img that came with your CDs. Best of luck. n3wo

Theres a small program called "rawrite" included in the "dosutils" dir. of your first redhat disc. You can run it from dos/win9x to create the boot floppy. You have to use the program to write the boot.img file to the disk (as raw data). Just follow the instructions (which I think are also in the dosutils dir).

The problem is that my 2 cds do not contain the dosutils directory.They are the Publisher's Edition, which is an abbreviated version of the full Red Hat. Therefore they don't have rawrite or boot.image on the cd. Below is the list of the directories on my cds. Red Hat Linux CD #1 Red Hat Linux_i3 -isolinux -RedHat -base -RPMS Red Hat Linux CD #2 Red Hat Linux_i3 -RedHat -RPMS Does anyone know where I can download RedHat 9 boot.img and rawrite.exe? Thanks for the help so far.
