Thank you all for your suggestions!
I now have Red Hat Linux installed.
The fun is just beginning,

Larry, Bill, Allen, David,
You all hit the bulls-eye.
But, I'm running XP Pro 2002 SP2 and I can not find any mention of
BURN CD or DVD Manager or CopyToDVD in the help section.
I have old copies of both Nero and Roxio, but they do not mention iso
type files.
Since I need to purchase a current copy of either Nero or Roxio, do
any of you have a preference between the two?
Thanks again for your help,
Dave

Dave:
I hate to suggest this but did you burn an ISO image with the proper XP
burning
software that does this properly? If not, then the drag'n drop won't
read.
So, on my machine I use CopyToDVD (I think) and open the DVD manager. I
then drag'n
drop the ISO image and the software puts it properly on my machine.
Sorry if you've already done this.
Bill

Subject: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Well, here it is Saturday morning and my long-anticipated weekend
project
of
installing Universe on Linux has just come to a screeching halt.
I downloaded RHEL 5.1 Desktop and burned the disk1 cd image to a CD-ROM
using
Windows XPPro.
When I install the the CD-ROM on the new machine with only the CD-ROM
drive
designated as a bootable device, I get a message:
"Boot Error. System Halted."
I tried to install it on my laptop and it failed to install there also.
The CD-ROM drive read lite came on in both cases, so I believe that
it's
reading the CD-ROM but not finding what it expects to find.
Using Explorer to view the download or the burned image, I see only one
icon
representing an unknown file type.
I don't see any individual folders or files within the image.
To fail this early in the process suggests that I'm doing something
very
wrong.
Any suggestions?
tia,
Dave
