I was at "ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/iso/i386/" last week
and i downloaded/burnt all the ISO files, now when i put the first CD in, it
brings me to the "install method" window. After hitting enter, sir penguin
shows up top left, it goes through right till a blue screen pops up and at
the bottom it then says something to the affect of failing or exiting
abnormally.. i forget. regardless, that's as far as i get and then it tells
me to reboot. CTRL+ALT+DEL is not my idea of an operating system. Now i have
made two copies of the CD1 image using EZ CD creator 5. they both did the
same thing. Is it perhaps the CDR software not burning it right? I can't
find any HOW-TO's/read me's to tell me if there is a certain proggy i need.
can someone help me with this dilema?

- OR -

Help me get VMware up and running in Corel Linux, i hear RH is the best
version out, so... i like to go with the best, hence why i am trying to get
Linux in general up and running.


I have run Linux before, but usually until i realize that i can't play my
favorite game in it, or i can't move the start menu sub folders around,
perhaps i am wind-o-fied, but i just don't know anyone locally who uses
linux.

I don't check newgroups too often, so could i ask that if you can help me,
or give me some tips, to email me at jirm@mail.com
