You can nix that idea with Redhat. If CD isn't available, other options are: 1. Network the machine and do an FTP or NFS install. 2. Partition the harddrive and put the ISOs on a partition, then install into the other partition. 3. Move the drive to a machine, install, and move it back. 4. Get something other than a Redhat situation. There are a lot of small (tiny) distros out there. Few of them will install from floppy unless all you need is a firewall. There are a couple that will work from CD, but if that isn't an option..... You might be able to do a Debian or Slackware install starting with floppy. But I imagine they need to access a network or CD at some point anyway, so you might not be much better off. -- Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.
