Is Linux already installed, or are you trying to do an install?

If you are trying to install, try starting winders98 or 95, reboot in
ms-dos mode, put your RH6.0 cd in your cd-rom drive.  At the command
prompt, type (x): <enter>    (x=cd-rom drive letter).  Cd x:\dosutils
<enter>.  autoboot <enter>.
