I am new to Linux. Actually I haven't even seen Linux, but decided I needed
to
find out what Linux is. So I purchased the Redhat version from their site. I
bought the slimmed down version. Hindsight dictates(isn't hindsight
wonderful)
that I should have paid for the full version. Instead I purchased the skinny
version w/out documentation or instructions. I realize the error of my ways
now...... So I have the cd's and nothing to lead me to an install process. I
see from newsgroup traffic I need a boot disk,  but do I also need to format
the h/d? It has win95 on it.

I have a pc I can dedicate to Linux.
What steps do I have to take?
Can a boot disk be sent to me by e-mail attachment?
Could someone assist me with a cookbook method of getting this software
installed. Or suggest a good FAQ to reference?

Thanks in advance for your assistance....Jack Hefner
