So.... Are you basically saying if I copy an ISO file to a CD.. I get an "installation tree" structure... That doesn't seem to make sense to me...
I believe I need the installation files, as I believe I'm going to need to use either FTP/HTTP to upgrade to RH 9.0. Since I'm trying to do a remote upgrade, I'm not going to have access to the CD player, and I will not be at the keyboard... So.. I still have the question.. How/where do I get/create the installation file tree. The funny thing is that I have them for RH8.0 on one of my windows drives... so I know that I went through this once before... Can't find my notes on what I did though!!!

An "ISO image file" is a raw copy of a CD and hence contains a file-system. Burnt to a CD-R[W], you could access the files and directories in that file-system. With Linux, you could even mount the ISO image directly via a loopback device: mount image.iso /mnt/somewhere -o loop With Microsoft Windows you may need tools like IsoBuster to access the file structure in an ISO image. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/Ilwf0iMVcrivHFQRAglGAJ9VYo7iKNrGyxcsC6Qt+vgQNWd5xQCbB9tw yohluEzQ6e18XZQSP8gIQ8c= =PuXs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
