I think U should search for the dd command options, i mean as of how to give them in order to create the boot floppy. Pls feel free to ask me if U still cannot find it. It 's there in the Redhat linux customization guide which is available in redhat docs.
Hope that helps

Hi,
do you mean rawrite?
I have had no problems with nfs installs (lots cause I use iso images as I
have no burner) but always use a linux box to create the boot floppy with dd.
If you have a plain DOS boot disk with cd support on it (like dos 5 or 6 and
an atapi cd configed on it), you could use that to get to the cd 's dosutils
area and use rawrite from their incase w2k is doing something evil.
I suppose you could boot the win box with the red Hat cd, then alt-f2 to a
shell and create the floppy there with dd. I 'm presuming dd would be availble
but have not tried it.
