Hi
All,
my name is Ron and I
am pretty new to the LINUX world. I have worked on
UNIX but have never done any administration work and over the past
year have begun working with LINUX and am trying to learn about the
administration so I can maintain a copy of the OS on my PC at
home. Eventually I plan on having Oracle insalled too, as that
is my primary field of expertise.
I have RedHat 9
installed on an older PIII and it appears to run just fine and did have RedHat
AS 2.1 on my main PC, never could get my HP print driver installed, and have
uninstalled that in favor of working with Fedora. I have downloaded
Fedora Core 2 to install however I am unable to get the install disks to work
and would love to have some insight on how to get this installed. I
did go through and look at the archives for Sept, I know Sept just started
however I believe this has to be something really simple and was hoping someone
could point me to an archive thread with the solution or provide the solution
for me. The details for my system are below along with the home
dir of my first Fedora CD and the message I am getting.
Dell 1.2 P IIII
Precision 330
1 gig
RAM
120 gig HD, OS
Windows 2000
80 gig HD, OS
<hopefully LINUX>
When I try to boot
from the 1st CD I downloaded nothing happens, this is the home dir of this CD
from a Windows listing:
Name
Type
SRPMS
File Folder
.discinfo
DISCINFO File
eula.txt
Text Document
GPL
File
RPM-GPG_KEY

RPM-GPG-KEY-beta

File
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide
File
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test
File
RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide

TRANS.TBL
TBL File
Since the first disc
does not appear to be a bootable cd I have created the restore and boot cd's to
boot up RecHat. However when I reboot with either CD I get to
the installation window asking for the Fedora Core CD and get the following
message:
"The Fedora Core CD
was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Fedora Core
CD and press OK to retry."
I have tried putting
in all 4 of my RedHat CD's to no avail, and have even tried leaving my boot and
restore CD's in the drive without any luck either. I have even tried
updating the tbl file to include the directory/path to point to the CD in the
drive which didn't work either. As I am new to LINUX
administration any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
