installinen RedHat 5.1

Can't I install RedHat 5.1 from FAT32 drive? I have downloaded RedHat 5.1 to
my FAT32 drive and when I begin installation and it asks: "What partition
and directory on that partition hold the RedHat/RPMS and RedHat/base
dircetories?" it only show /dev/hda3 which is my Linux partition (/dev/hda1
is my FAT32 partition which holds RedHat 5.1). So can't I install RedHat 5.1
from FAT32 drive? If not, what should I do then?

       I installed Slakware from a FAT partition (about a year ago).
I think you have to specify which directory you have kept everything
in. e.g  /dev/hda1/slakware (or perhaps /dev/hda3/redhat in your case).
I have never used Redhat though.

Nothing but Win '95 or Win '98 can read FAT32.

then you titled kernel 2.0.35 "nothing".
Kernel 2.0.35 is able to read vfat32 as well as jolliet-CD's.

There is no option for one of them in the kernel-config, but vfat
includes fvat32 and iso9660 includes jolliet.
