AHA! My DVD is bootable! And I have a CD-RW!!!!
Will let you know if this works tonight... thanks Jeff!
*wondering why I didn't think of that before... duh*
Strange though, I never get an option of what OS to load. If the floppy is
in the drive, it boots up Redhat like it's the only OS on my hd. If the
floppy isn't there, it boots up Windoze just like IT's the only OS.... Is
that common?

Boot off something other than a floppy. Zips can be made bootable, I think.

Plug in another disk. Find an el-cheapo 100M or something and boot off it.
