Where can I download Redhat 9.0 - PC Perspective Forums
I did a google search but I see many offers to buy REDHAT
To my ubderstanding, it is a free opensource OS but they may offer support and what not.
Where can I find 9.0 and can I just burn that to disk and boot from this?
Thanks

Awsome link!
I guess you save these as iso files, right?
What needs to be done after I dowload the iso file?
Do I have to make them bootable?
Sorry but I have not worked with ISO's before.

So I just downloaded all 3 ISO files to my Windows XP desktop and I can just burn them each to their own CD-R and then they should be good to go, right?
Anything you recommend I do before the process?
Just looking ahead - and this is new to me so pardon my ignorance.

Just cuz ive seen this happen...
You dont burn the ISO file to the CD, you need a program that reads the ISO file (basically an Image of a CD) and burns the info in the file on to the CD...

What sesik said- you don't burn them like normal files.
In Nero, for instance, you go File >
Burn Image. It then opens up an 'Open from' dialog.
The default file type is the Nero-generated image, so select 'all files', select your Disk one ISO, accept the default settings, and burn away.
Disk one should be bootable.
You might consider Fedora Core 1 over RH 9.
They're mostly the same, but FC1 has stuff like 'yum' that makes system updates a breeze.
Hope this helps.

Just a quick check for myself, I've downloaded suse 9.0(would have gotten 9.1 but it didnt look like they had uploaded all the files on the ftp site).
Gonna burn them through nero with an image, just making sure.
Also, i'm gonna install from cd so i downloaded the whole thing, talk about a big file.
I was wondering how I should break it up, i havent seen a readme file yet, i still have one folder to download for it, but i'm not sure what should go on each cd.
Looks to be enough info for about 5 cd's worth.
Any ideas?

Akhenaton22, there's no way to create an installation CD set from files downloaded from SuSE FTP site.
You can install from those files by setting up a FTP or NFS server to another machine and doing a network install.
If you need CDs, you must buy the SuSE boxed set.

I did exactly what you said when burning the ISO - I am not sure if it worked so I put the CD in a CD drive again and right clicked the drive and selected "explore" I did not see just one ISO file but a bunch of files with a few folders listed so it looks like it unpacked the ISO file and burned it to disk.
What do you think?

Ned cool then - it looks like I am ready to go - should I download any drivers before the install?
I am using a Linksys G wireless adapter on an Epox motherboard.
What should I do?
Not sure I see Linux drivers for the wireless card
