Unix Install
Hi
I'm a newbie here and, in Unix. I bought a book to learn the code. I have been in different websites to find information on how to install Red Hat Linux 7.2 on my system, but I may not understand what's going on. All I see on the sites is ftp sites for download but when you click on the links all you see is data, I keep looking for an executable without finding one? I have made partitions on my system so I have a partition ready for the install but how do I install it? It's frustrating to me at this point as I seemed totally lost
I'm not understanding and there is no detail information out there as to how to install all these different flavors in Unix environment. I hope someone can guide me in the right direction and bring back my smile!! I'd appreciate all the feedback provided.
Thx
