Hi Brian,
Several people have asked this question lately (including myself) and many
gracious people have given this guidance:
1. Your directory structure should look the same as the one you ftped. Sometimes the
capitalizations get fudged by M$ products, so fix these before you do anything. (It's
a pain, but compare yours with the original.)
2. Make an image of the entire directory (if your cd-r software allows)
3. Burn it from your image at the lowest speed possible, 1x or 2x (Yes, take your
time, it pays off)
4. If the cd-rom install fails, copy it to you hard disk and install that way...
Best of luck!

Subject: Making a RedHat CD-R
Hello!
Yesterday, I downloaded RedHat 5.1 from Sunsite. I want to make a CD-R
with the RedHat distribution. The problem is, I only have Windoze 95
(gag!) and a Smart and Friendly CD-RW 226, and I have two software
programs, CdQuadrat WinOnCD 3.5 and Adaptec EZ CD Creator 3.01b.
I used WinOnCD 3.5 to make an ISO-9660 CD-R with 128 character filenames.
I was able to make the boot and support disk, but when RedHat tried to
init the CD-ROM, it reported that it wasn't a valid CD. Nothing in the
FAQs about how to do this. :)
In short, where am I going wrong?
Many thanks,
Brian
