RedHat Linux ISO Images
-
Has anyone here successfully downloades and installed linux using red hat's ISO images? If so, how did you burn them onto a CD... my CD burning software, Aheads Nero, gave me some strange options box while trying "to import foreign image file". I have no idea what these are or how to use them. I managed to pull down both images... which I may add are huge....(thank god for cable) but can't get this to work right. This is becoming more trouble than its worth... Experiences, suggestions and comiserations welcome.

I have done the same thing with Corel's version of Linux. And I had the same trouble with Nero. So I will look forward to an answer. I can't believe you actually downloaded it, I tried for two or three weeks unsuccessfully to download it at work. We have a couple of T1s. When I did finally connect to a site, it only downloaded around 3 or 4 kbs. And it would always time out eventually anyway. My solution was to go out and buy it, it's only $29. Wayne

I had no problem with the download... I used download accelerator and got both images in about 3.5 hours... I justed used on the the mirror sites... but if this keeps up I will just end up buying it.

I've downloaded some ISO's and burned them onto CDs with Nero. It's actually not hard once you know how to do it. File menu->Burn Image. Change the 'Files of Type' to all files, select your .iso file. A dialog with some confusing option will pop up. I forget what it looks like and I don't have an iso to try it out with, but I think there's an option for blocksize. I don't remember which setting I used (sorry). I was worried that it wouldn't work, but it did. I've tried several distros of Linux and I like the command line interface, but I can't seem to get the X Server configured to work with my funky ATI All-in-wonder 128 card so I got frustrated and gave up.

I had some problems to configure my Xserver too. I think the version 4 it's a little bit more hard to set. But I have to say something: one you do it install the KDE version 2 it has nice applications including KDE Office and Kdevelop that are worth it. By the way I used the Adaptec software to burn my CD's without any problem. []s Crercio

If xconfigurator works, and you have the latest drivers installed for your card, then startx --bpp 32 should work. Either that or change to runlevel 5 (graphical) by using telinit 5 as root Anyway, I have limited knowledge of lunix, just that's how I got x to work with my geforce before there was native support for it.... Hope it helps a little! :-) regards Liam O'Hagan Senior Test Engineer GLI Australia www.gli.com.au

The FTP site ftp.linuxberg.com is a very good site. They limit the bandwidth to 50K/s but you can use FTP clients like CuteFTP Pro that support multi-part downloads to create 2 connections and effectively double the bandwidth. This site has all the major Linux ISO CD images. Everytime that I have connected I have been able to consistently download at the maximum bandwidth that the site allows.

I don't get this at all. I'm sure your time is worth more than the cost of purchasing the CD. I bought a Linux book that came with a RedHat 5.0 CD. Certainly cheaper for me to buy the book than waste my tie downloading and burning a CD, when I could be coding for my company.
