Hello all: I originally posted the problems with RH 7.3 in the making of a boot disk via the dosutils rawrite.exe on a windoze machine. Using dd did not solve my problems either so after several hours of working on this I decided to ftp boot.img from the ftp.redhat.com and I made a boot image with no problem with dd and rawrite also worked. My whole problem turned out to be a bad cd burn with the first .iso cd. In fact I found that the contents of my entire Redhat directory was empty. I found this when I decided to scrap the whole boot.img and go with a bootnet.img from ftp.redhat.com and do a ftp install via another RH 6.2 machine with plenty of space. With this install there was no giving up though as I had waited for approximately 10 days for the download of the RH 7.3 iso's. I am still unfortunately using a 56K modem access to the net because of lack of any other means other than satellite. The other 2 cd's had good burns just the first one which was either a bad CD or just plain bad burn. Just have to check every possibility it seems. I now have a happily running RH 7.3 machine and am ready to see what has changed.
