Red Hat Linux/Intel 6.0 (Hedwig)
================================
The contents of this CD-ROM are Copyright (C) 1999 Red Hat Software, Inc.

DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION
This directory is organized as follows:
/mnt/redhat
|----> RedHat
|----> RPMS -- binary packages
|----> base -- small filesystem setup archives
|----> instimage -- image used for installs
|----> images -- boot and ramdisk images
|----> dosutils -- installation utilities for DOS
|----> doc -- various FAQs and HOWTOs
|----> misc -- source files, install trees
|----> COPYING -- copyright information
|----> README -- this file
|----> RPM-PGP-KEY -- PGP signature for packages from Red Hat
If you are mirroring to a partition or an NFS volume, you'll need to
get everything under RedHat, as well as the disk images from images
that you need for your system.
============================================================================
INSTALLING
There are two separate boot images for booting your system; you will need
one to boot your system into the Red Hat installation and upgrade process.
For CDROM and hard drive installs, use the boot.img file (most Red Hat boxed
sets include this floppy already; just boot it!). NFS, ftp, and http
installations requires the bootnet.img floppy, which is available in the
images directory. In addition, installs which require a PCMCIA adapter (such
as for PCMCIA CDROM or networking cards) need the pcmcia.img floppy.
If you did not receive the necessary floppy disks with this product, the
images for these disks are in the images directory. Either the rawrite
program in the dosutils directory or 'dd' under any Unix like system can
be used to transfer the image to physical floppies. Once the diskettes
have been made, insert the boot disk and boot your machine.
