Question on creating a boot CD

I downloaded RedHat Linux ES v3.0 from the web site.

Under "\dosutils " or "\images " there is no "rewrite.exe ", "boot.img ", or
"supp.img " files as stated in the knowledgebase "How do I create an
installation boot disk? " dated 03-28-04.

How do I create a boot CD Disk from the downloaded "iso " files ?

I created CDs from the "iso " files using a product called WINIMAGE.

cd \dosutils
rawrite.exe

When prompted for a disk for the boot image, enter \path\to\boot.img.

Then run rawrite again and, when prompted, enter \path\to\supp.img.

The .img files are boot images and can be found in the images directory on
the first Red Hat Linux installation CD-ROM.
