DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION
Red Hat Linux is delivered on four CDROMs (disc 1 through disc 4). Disc 1
can be directly booted into the installation on most modern systems, and
contains the following directory structure:
/mnt/redhat
|----> RedHat
| |----> RPMS -- binary packages
| `----> base -- information on this release of Red Hat
| Linux used by the installation process
|----> images -- LS-120 boot image
|----> COPYING -- copyright information
|----> README -- this file
|----> RELEASE-NOTES -- the latest information about this release
| of Red Hat Linux
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
Disc 2 is similar (only the RedHat subdirectory is present).
The directory layout of discs 3 and 4 is similar to the following:
/mnt/redhat
|----> SRPMS -- source packages
|----> preview -- alpha and beta level packages (source
| and binary) for the adventurous user (may
| not be present in every release)
|----> COPYING -- copyright information
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
If you are setting up an image for NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations, you
need to get everything from the RedHat directory from both disc 1 and
disc2. On Linux and Unix systems, the following process will properly
configure the /target/directory on your server.
1) Insert disc 1
2) mount /mnt/cdrom
3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
4) umount /mnt/cdrom
5) Replace disc 1 with disc 2
6) mount /mnt/cdrom
7) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
8) umount /mnt/cdrom

INSTALLING
If you did not receive an LS-120 boot disk with this product, the image for
this disk is in the images directory. Use the 'dd' command under any Linux
system to transfer the image onto a physical LS-120 disk. Once the disk has
been made, insert it into the machine you wish to install to and you should
be able to boot from this disk.
Many computers can now automatically boot from CDROMs. If you have such a
machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Red Hat Linux
CDROM directly without using any boot disks. After booting, you'll be able
to install your system from the CDROM. Note that booting from a CDROM is
equivalent to booting the boot.img file; additional drivers may still be
required.
