Thanks for your response.

I created the 4 CDs from the "iso " files. It created all the subdirectories
and files, but it does not boot. I 've looked in RH knowledgebase and have
not found anything.

If you burned the CDs from the .iso images, put the first CD into the
CD drive and look at it. If you see a bunch of files, then the disk is
burned correctly and the CD should be bootable. You only need to futz
with rawrite and the boot images if you can 't boot from CD-ROM.

If you only see one file on the CD, you didn 't burn it right.
