New User, New Install Red Hat 9, need serious Instruction
Hey... I'm so proud of myself. After nearly 13 hours of trying to get Red Hat installed on my PC I got it on here. But I'm having all sorts of problems. First the boot loader is corrupted and all I get is LI and then the computer freezes. But I can boot fine from the floppy that was made during installation.
What I seriously need is a book for complete newbies. I don't know how to save files, I don't know how to open files I've downloaded. I don't know what or how to fix problems. It'll be easier now that I've got broadband on this machine. But I seriously need a book that explains very, I do mean very easy basic stuff. It KDE and GNOME and all that.
Any help is appreciated.
I might add the reason it took 13 hours was because all the dang ISO files I downloaded from different universities ended up being corrupted. I downloaded ISO 2 nearly 4 times before I found one that wasn't messed up. I'm glad I chose CD-RW's instead of CD-R's saved me a good deal of money, I'm sure.

Hi guys
I would like to install Red Hat Linux 4.2 on my old box (pIII). However there is a problem: i can't find the .iso image anywhere in the Net, all the material that i've found is (i think) an install tree of the OS.
It will be possible for me to install the OS from that install tree?
