1.I downloaded red hat 7.3 (the 3 iso files) 2.I made a bootdisk. 3.I booted using the boot disk and entered setup. 4.When it asked me from where do I want to install Red hat 7.3 I chose harddisk. 5.I have on my computer 2 partitions and the partition that contains the iso files is D (the ISO files are on the root). The I saw two wierd partition names and I choose the first one it didn`t work, the second one also didnt work. Can any body tell me whats wrong PLZ. I realy want linux

ok u prolly wouldnt have understood that....ok 1) can u boot a cd 2) if u cannot then did u use rawwrite to make the bootdisk? 3) If you have a fairly new computer u should be able to boot the redhat disc thru ur cd rom and install it with no problems at all 4) IF you cannot boot from a cd then follow point 2)
